Changes: Windmill

Revision as of 20:02, 3 November 2018

The windmill (also called a false shower or fake shower) is a juggling pattern where one hand does outside throws and the other hand throws under the arm. The catches made by the hand that does outside throws are done with that arm crossed over the other arm.

In the windmill, all the throws start on the same side of the pattern and cross over to the other side (from right to left if you throw under the arm with your left hand). This makes the objects follow each other around in a circle, like they do in a shower pattern.	In the reverse windmill, the throws that aren't just outside throws are made with the hand crossed over the other arm, and then those throws are caught under the arm.
In Mills mess, you do two throws of a windmill (outside, then under-the-arm) on alternating sides, with a cross-armed throw in between to transition to the other direction.	In Flo's mess, you do two throws of a windmill (under-the-arm, then outside) on alternating sides, with an outside throw in between to transition to the other direction.
