Those who are interested may even be eligible to take part in future ATS performances such as the Lunar New Year Banquet!
Having roots from the 12th century, the Chinese yo-yo spins on a string connected by two sticks. Unlike its Western counterpart, the Chinese yo-yo is not connected to the string, allowing more complicated tricks to be performed.
