Thinking this over, I think you are probably looking for the kind of foot juggling where you catch balls on the soles of the feet - I’ve never done that kind - I do the kind where you catch on the tops of the feet.
If juggling with the soles is what you need, while I *might* be able to pick it up quickly, I’ve never done it. Let me know if you’d like help finding someone who is experienced with that kind of juggling.
