Catches with the head, arms, back, legs and feet are all forms of "Full body juggling." A full body juggler may also be influenced by forms of dance and won't stay still for very long, opting to move their feet, their stance, their posture and their orientation.

Answer: Multiple person juggling

Some people would refer to this as "Passing," but there are at least four different ways for jugglers to juggle together. Consider "Synch" "Stealing" "Sharing" and "Takeouts." Therefor, "Multiple person juggling" is the term used by the IJA (International Juggling Association)
