Tempo sets how high the throws go. Dwell is how long a ball rests in the hand.
The foundation of juggling. Every throw crosses to the other hand, arcing to about eye height, and the hands alternate on every beat.
Practice tips
- Keep your elbows in and let the throws come from the wrist and forearm.
- Aim for a consistent throw height — the catches then look after themselves.
- If the pattern drifts forwards, stand facing a wall a step away.
Common mistakes
- Throwing the balls forwards instead of straight up, so you creep across the room.
- Passing the ball from hand to hand instead of throwing it.
- Watching your hands rather than the top of the pattern.
