r/juggling

I am setting up a circus stage in my neighborhood and so far the events are working out well. The idea is to give to local jugglers and other circus artists opportunities to perform in front of people and for the neighborhood, which is one of the poorer places of the city, to give the possibility to enjoy circus culture for free. We ask for donations and split the hat after paying out the expenses.
Maybe in the future we will try to apply for fundings to be able to do more and better events and properly pay the artists, get some good sound and maybe an aerial rig. For this it would be great if our instagram page would be growing. Right now we are dreaming of our first 100 followers...
If you want to help us grow online we would appreciate if you consider to follow us on Instagram and like our stuff.

the circus doesn't follow back. On my personal account I do follow back and will like your stuff.

Have you ever been somewhere and you wanted to juggle some objects, but you didn't have your typical juggling equipment that you might use on the regular?

Or have you ever gotten into juggling and wanted to get some items you could juggle, but didn't want to spend Money on professional juggling equipment, and decided that you would just get something that you could throw and catch. And it hopefully wouldn't break or do anything crazy once it hits the ground?

I want to know what objects you guys think are best for juggling that aren't particularly sold for that specific purpose, but can be repurposed.

Thanks!

What level of skill would you consider “professional” in juggling?

Normally, the distinction between a professional and an amateur is based on whether it is your main occupation and whether you make money from it. In juggling, you could similarly define a professional as someone who regularly performs professionally at shows, events, etc.

But if we set aside the occupational and financial aspects and look purely at skill level, what would you consider “professional-level” juggling?

5 balls? 7 balls? 5 clubs? Being able to perform difficult and complex high-level tricks? Or something else?

There probably isn't a precise or universally accepted definition, but what do you guys think? At what skill level would you personally consider someone a professional-level juggler?
