Sena is a flashy juggler now, OK! She is now able to do the 3-ball throw and catch (for the cascade eventually), and in my Learn to Juggle manual, that means she is now juggling.
She counts the throws, pays attention to the juggler’s pane of glass (the juggle space) and just generally has a good time.
She has been diligently practicing and is now wondering the same thing I wondered (as I am wondering now about the shower pattern).
How the heck to let go of the balls?
Sena’s juggling balls have been silent lately, meaning I’ve not been hearing them hit the floor. She is pretty busy doing other things, like gardening.
But I’m pretty sure another reason is dropping the balls. She and I are probably at about the same learning stage in juggling. She’s trying to get past the hurdles of learning to juggle the cascade pattern. I’m still trying to get past the hurdles of learning the shower juggling pattern.
I practice every day. When I drop the balls (which is very often), I pick them up and try again. Some of my bloopers are funny, so I included them in an ugly juggling video. I don’t include all the bloopers because that would be monotonous in the extreme.
But you can tell I get pretty frustrated—and a little out of breath. I do the usual lunging, grabbing, and faking.
It’s still pretty fun. Keep trying, Sena!
Update: Sena practiced today! The evidence is on the floor:
