Lee-Ming Youth Chinese Yo-Yo Club
Join the Lee-Ming Cultural Association's Yo-Yo Club, LMYCYC!
Chinese yo-yo, also known as a diabolo, is an enjoyable activity as well as a type of gymnastic exercise. Playing with a simple pull-bell contributes to a physical agility, and from its many variations come unlimited possibilities for enjoyment. Not only can it develop one’s muscles, but also enhance breathing and increase circulation. It has a wholesome effect on the growth and development of children and health.
Have fun while learning with this wonderful "toy" used for generations by kids and professionals alike!
Lee-Ming Youth Chinese Yo-Yo Club teaches basic to advanced skills to all levels. Learn traditional maneuvers and create new ones, working alone and in groups.
