New home for the Contact Juggling community
There are so many times this question has been asked, and yet I never considered to make a tutorial about it. What are the first 5 things that you want to try to do with a ball when you first pick one up? Well NOW YOU KNOW!
Okay, now we’re getting into it. This is a very condensed introduction to the idea of establishing a fixed point and the illusions that we can create. Less of an exercise here and more of a notion to have in your head as you continue to play, at some point it should click into place…
Lovely addictive enigmas, there are more variations than jugglers so you can really set it about them and make them your own. The mechanics are incredibly simple and after a few minutes will be lodged firmly in your brain. This is a perfect day 1 contact technique.

Often we just say “learn dance!” but these practices can take years, and no one online has much help for those of us in small regions who can’t access those cool juggling workshops that are held worldwide. So…
We’re very proud to announce our first community contributed video, and thankfully we’ve avoid any awkward social niceties because it is genuinely brilliant. The very lovely Steve Wilbury noticed our mountain top beacons were lit and sprung into action as every good New Zealand resident should. That’s right it’s a 15 year old Lord of…
Over the past few years, I (Dawn) have learned to really take my time and spend 30 minutes every day to get into the body. It is a mindfulness practice which can help you delve deeper into the flow state when you are in your practice. Another piece of this puzzle is an essay over at…
Today we introduce the first of our tutorial series! Briney introduces the concept of illusion style dance in contact juggling. What does it mean and where can you go? Some basic ideas that are going to be elaborated upon in further videos. If you have a concept you’d like to learn about or teach,…
