Movable Feast

This is a pattern for five or more jugglers. Each juggler passes to every other juggler including himself. Also everyone moves around as they juggle! It can be juggled on any count, purists would say it should be done on a three count. Here's a description of a five person version:
For the first pass A passes with E, B passes with D and C does a self. Then everyone moves around one place in a clockwise direction:

On the next pass A passes with D, B passes with C and E does a self. Then everyone moves around one place in a clockwise direction:

Now A passes with C, B does a self and E passes with D. Then everyone moves around one place in a clockwise direction:

This is the same as the first diagram, except all the jugglers have moved around!
With any odd number of jugglers the pattern will be similar to the five person pattern. On one pass one juggler selfs at the right hand end of the pattern and on the next pass one juggler selfs at the left hand end of the pattern.
