Hi everyone,

So, my name is Emma, I'm 18 years old, I'm from the Netherlands and I just started contact juggling. The first time I saw contact juggling was about a few months ago, when someone posted a video of Okotanpe on facebook. I immediately thought "I want to be able to do that!" and I bought a big bouncy ball and started practicing. If anyone's wondering, it was a very bad idea. The thing was filled with water and it kept wobbling around, and it was very heavy.
So I bought a sil-x and a peach stage ball recently, and cj'ing is a lot easier with those two balls! I've been learning on my own, but I recently found out that there is a juggling club in my city, so might join that group.

So, that's about me, any questions :)?

Ooooh! The Netherlands again! You guys need to start a club! You can make your own handshake by isolation.

Don't mind me. I'm feeling goofy.

Well, I think it would be awesome to join a group or something like that. If I have any skills ;). Right now, I'm able to do butterflies and butterfly transfers (not always as smooth as I want them to) and some basic isolations like the claw isolation and the enigma. I'm mainly working on body rolls and the palm spin isolation. And even though the two of them are hard, I do notice some progress :).

Welcome, Emma!

There are a few Contact Jugglers from your area. You should look for them here on Dotorg! The best way to learn is from other people :D

Hi Emma,

Welcome to .org. And about the juggling club in Nijmegen, i run it. it is for every body that is interested in juggling, and we offer a training space for jugglers/dancers/theater people. there is no need to join or sign up. just show up at the thursday evening.

It is every thursday from 19:00 in the Vasim in Nijmegen. the entrance is on the North side of the building and there is a telephone number on the door. and i will be there every week from 19:00 to 21:30 ish but it stays open till the last person leaves.

Cheers and hope to see you soon.

Robbert
