Video Transcript

" Hello! My name is Melissa Shank, and on behalf of expertvillage.com, today I’m giving you some strategy techniques to learn how to juggle. Now, this segment we call let the games begin, because we’re going to start putting everything that we’ve learned together. So, you’ve got your favorite ball. We’re going to go back to one ball for just a moment. We’re going to let the games begin, and we’re going to start playing a couple of games to learn how to juggle. Now, earlier we were doing the one handed toss. Now, to get your timing, to really nail that timing down, we’re going to toss that ball up and clap in between. You’re going to toss up and clap, up and clap, up and clap. The reason you want to clap is because you want to know how high to toss the ball up to give you enough time to catch it. Up and clap, up and clap. When you get it one hand, then try the one handed ark once again. So, instead of up and clap, you’re going to go up, clap, touch it with the other hand, up, clap, touch it with the other hand, and also toss it back with the other hand as well. Up, clap, touch. Work on that ark, it’s so important. The ark is one of the most important part of juggling, so keep on practicing that. Either toss up and clap or up, over and clap in your ark, and then we’ll get into our next clip. "
