Come learn the Chinese yo-yo!

Participants of all skill levels (from never touching a yoyo to knowing lots of tricks) are welcome.

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.

The sessions will meet 7pm in Rockwell (half court) from Jan. 12-28, Tuesdays and Thursdays (except for Jan. 21 - Student Center, room 491).
