Club juggling by Anastasiya Balabushkina from Russia - TAZHERANY

Juggling is such an amazing world that it can capture the imagination of anyone who dares to try it. That’s exactly what happened to me when I first simply picked up three objects and started trying. A few years later, I found like‑minded people in my city, and together we opened the doors to the world of group juggling. We didn’t just juggle - we experimented, sought new forms and combinations, creating something unique. Every training session is a time of joy and inspiration for us, where we share our ideas and improve our skills. Over time, we became part of the Russian juggling community, which opened up many opportunities for us. We take part in numerous conventions, challenges, and flash mobs, where we can showcase our skills to a wide audience and exchange experience with other talented jugglers from all over the country. Thanks to social media, a unique opportunity has emerged to communicate and exchange experience with jugglers from different parts of the planet. The International Jugglers Association (IJA) plays a special role. It is a real space for interaction among jugglers of all levels and disciplines. For me, the IJA has become a real discovery of new horizons in juggling. Here, I was able to glean many fresh ideas from more experienced colleagues. What is especially valuable is that each of us has the chance not only to absorb knowledge but also to share our own findings, receiving feedback and support. This mutual enrichment of experience is incredibly motivating and contributes to growth. Thanks to IJA, I was able to reach a completely new level in my development. For me, juggling is not just a hobby, but a way of self‑expression. Every event, every meeting, and every new experience brings me unforgettable emotions and an understanding of how beautiful and multifaceted the world of juggling is. And today I am grateful to fate for giving me the opportunity to experience this amazing art. ‪@IJAvideo‬   / ijajugglers   Anastasiya Balabushkina   / _anasteisha18
