Six Person Benzene Ring

This is a classic pattern for six jugglers. A and D do a typewriter feed on two count to three positions in front of them. B, C, E and F run around each other in the middle passing on four count. On the first pass A passes with B and D passes with E. C and F do selfs. This is shown below:

After the first pass, B and E turn to make their next pass. A and D's first passes should be long to help B and E to turn. Meanwhile on the second pass A passes with C and D passes with F. B and E do selfs. This is shown below:

On the third pass A passes with E and D passes with B while C and F do selfs. This is shown in the next diagram:

On the fourth pass, A passes with C and D passes with F, while B and E do selfs.

This picture is the same as the first one except the juggler have moved around. It should be clear how to continue.

You could try spicing things up a bit by having the feeders passing on pass, pass, self and the feedees passing on three count.
