Cups and saucers

I learned this interesting four person pattern at the Swedish juggling convention in 2009. The jugglers pass on four count and eight count. At the start Anne and Daniel pass on four count and Ben and Clare pass on eight count.

Anne passes with Daniel while Ben and Clare do selfs. After this pass Anne and Daniel walk forwards. Their next pass is with the juggler on their right.

So Anne passes with Clare and Daniel passes with Ben. After this pass Anne and Daniel continue to walk forwards and they also turn towards each other to make their next pass.

Now Anne passes with Daniel while Ben and Clare do selfs. After this pass Anne and Daniel continue walking and turning.

Anne's next pass is with Ben and Daniel's next pass is with Clare. After this pass Anne and Daniel continue walking and turning until Anne reaches Daniel's original position and Daniel reaches Anne's original position. Also now Anne and Daniel switch to eight count and Ben and Clare switch to four count.

Now Ben passes with Clare while Anne and Daniel do selfs. After this pass Ben and Clare walk forwards. Their next pass is with the juggler on their right.

So Clare passes with Anne and Ben passes with Daniel. After this pass Ben and Clare continue to walk forwards and they also turn towards each other to make their next pass.

Now Ben passes with Clare while Anne and Daniel do selfs. After this pass Ben and Clare continue walking and turning.

Ben's next pass is with Anne and Clare's next pass is with Daniel. After this pass Ben and Clare l continue walking and turning until Ben reaches Clare's original position and Clare reaches Ben's original position. Also now Ben and Clare switch to eight count and Anne and Daniel switch to four count.

Now Anne passes with Daniel while Ben and Clare do selfs.

This is just like the first pass except all the jugglers have moved around.
