Siteswap is a mathematical model to calculate possible juggling patterns and also notation to write down juggling patterns as a series of numbers.

Central Description

Siteswap assumes that each throw happens on a beat.

  • Each number in siteswap represents the number of beats between throws for one object


Example: 3 object cascade

This is the normal 3 ball cascade with two hands. Each arrow points to the next event with the same object 3 beats later.

Numbers and arrows are colored with the color of the object involved:

  • ball A: red
  • ball B: blue
  • ball C: black
