Curious about diabolo? Join LSESU Diabolo Club to learn new tricks, practise your skills, and connect with fellow diabolo enthusiasts!
A diabolo is an hourglass-shaped prop that consists of two cups connected by a central axle. Players use a string attached to two hand sticks to balance the diabolo and keep it spinning in order to perform tricks. Diabolo is not merely a juggling activity, it is a form of cultural performing art (it is also known as the Chinese Yoyo) and a wonderful bridge to make new friends!
Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender or experience level.
