How to juggle - learn with The Movement Loft in Belfast

As well as being an impressive party trick, juggling is a test of skill, hand-eye co-ordination, pattern recognition and above all, persistence and patience.

It's also way easier than it looks.

So, as part of our #InThisTogether campaign to highlight the work of local creatives and businesses, the coaches from The Movement Loft  are here to show you how it's done. 

The Movement Loft is Belfast's very own facility specialising in the artform of movement.

Located on the city's Ravenhill Road, the unique space has been created by founders and coaches David Orchin and Nick Simpson. 

Nick and David are huge advocates of juggling, for many reasons.

"Juggling is a fantastic skill to learn that will stay with you for life," Nick said. 

"It's fun, meditative and once you've mastered it, very addictive. 

"Co-ordination is a huge part of our classes, so juggling is a perfect warm up to get the brain thinking and working with the body. 

"With this video we've focused on forming the best habits possible, so don't be afraid of dropping the balls at the start. 

"Just concentrate on getting the patterns right and it will all click. You'll be juggling proficiently in no time!"

For more tips and information on everything movement-based, head to The Movement Loft online.

You can also take part in the gym's brand new online classes. These take place every day and include elements of a typical Movement Loft class - bodyweight strength training, handstanding, movement and mindfulness. 

Head to the class timetable to book in - first class is free of charge.
