Ran into this tutorial just after I got my 120 mm acrylic and it motivated me to start working on my head balance. Immediately. I hopped out of bed, plonked it on my head, and it promptly hit the hardwood floor like a meteor (sorry housemates!). That was about a month ago, and I can now walk around my building, sit down and stand up, navigate stairs, and even do some sweet one-leg poses! Some extra tips: Besides a pretty aggressive practice schedule (I put the ball on my head whenever I'm just sitting around, racking up hours of hold time quickly), I think the secret to my picking it up so quickly was starting from sitting. I was really struggling to make the ball stick when I was standing, but then one day I was chilling in my chair watching CZcams and fidgeting with the ball. Put it on my head and BOOM! It stayed there for a few seconds. I realized that sitting with back support meant that I only had to stabilize from the neck up, which made it waaaay easier. After a few days of doing that a bunch, I could sit or kneel without back support, which meant I could work on my computer with a ball on my head for hours, and from there, standing soon became possible. I think belly dance training also helped me move on to walking easily, since I already knew how to isolate my hip movement from my upper body. So maybe try working on some simple hip circles or figure 8's if the transition from standing to stepping isn't happening. And as a bonus it looks frickin cool to wiggle your hips with a ball on your head! XD

not funny sorry

after 17 days nahh.

Beautiful contact juggling...

Dawn, I have been a fan of your contact juggling videos for years. They are my favorite source of inspiration, especially for body rolls. I want to express my admiration for your dedication to the beautiful art of contact juggling. As an older adult, I still find your videos motivating and captivating. You create magic with your performance and spark my unending interest in contact juggling.

It's amazing how you keep the momentum going as you roll the ball across your body. Awesome!!!

Amazing!

Can I ask the size and grams? Im want to do a lot of head stuff but wanna start with a stage ball and not acrylic and Im not sure what size to go with

Is it harder with bigger balls or smaller?
