I love juggling and I teach it to others, mostly children. This is my mission, and you can learn on my channel how I am doing on. But, frankly speaking, after watching this film, I can see that there is still a lot of work ahead of me. Good stuff, best regards.
I honestly don't feel like I received much respect for pursuing juggling until more than a decade or so of practice, when I began to reach a certain level of skill. I mean some people were still like "oh that's cool!" but you know... if you play music or dance you're automatically classy or sophisticated or edgy even if you're new at it, but if you juggle you're somehow nerdy and stunted and don't have a girlfriend. I still have people tease me about how no girl is going to be into a juggler... which is stupid to say and not true. We need to respect people for their passions no matter what it is. #endrant
Because it doesn’t have much representation. Being good at football is cool, because NFL is a dominant part of TV and college culture. Being a good dancer is cool, because big city theaters and (again) tv shows feature it. Musicians headline everything from clubs to operas, and CrossFit athletes have featured films toping the charts on iTunes. Juggling lies in the same space as poets and hacky sack players. It’s just not that impressive, compared to the rest of the media shoved in everyone’s faces.
It seems like most people who juggle are pretty slim. It makes me wonder if juggling helps with weight control, or slim people pick activities in which they are always moving.
