juggling patterns

Juggling patterns are organized sequences of throws and catches used to create specific visual flows with objects, like balls or clubs. They follow rhythmic, repetitive cycles, often described by notation such as siteswap, which assigns numbers to each throw indicating its height and timing. Patterns like the cascade involve crossing throws, while others, like the shower, keep objects moving in a particular path. Mastering patterns involves understanding timing, coordination, and consistency, allowing jugglers to perform complex routines smoothly and predictably. These patterns provide structure and challenge, enabling jugglers to innovate and display skill.
