Analyzing Ball Juggling Tricks
To understand what features make up a juggling pattern, I analyze 13 modern ball juggling tricks from top jugglers.
Which features are can be described with existing notation, and which can not?
Improved Body Trick Notation (IMBO)
Music Notation
Dance Notation
Dance notation is the act of describing human movement on paper with symbols or abbreviations.
As juggling involves movement of the body, and in order to get more understanding of different ways of notating, I needed to know the basics of dance notation and its history.

Existing Juggling Notation Systems
What juggling notation systems are already out there, and how do they compare?
What do they describe, and what do they not describe?
This article mixes personal opinions with personal observations, but in the conclusions at the bottom we will hopefully find some objective truths about the differences between these notation systems.
