My teaching philosophy is rooted in the mission of the International Jugglers’ Association: rendering assistance to fellow jugglers. I believe juggling is strongest as a community skill, where knowledge is shared and everyone is supported in learning at their own pace. I focus on breaking skills into the smallest possible steps someone can succeed at today. Just like a pushup can be modified into a version anyone can do, juggling can always be scaled to match a learner’s current ability. When people experience small wins consistently, they build confidence, stay motivated, and develop real, lasting skill.
