    I love Shu’s performances. He came on France has got talent and didn’t make it to the end and i was so disappointed. He was one of my favourite performances of the season and I’m so glad to see more of him now. What he does is amazing and so fun!

    Just now I was looking for some old-style yo-yo dancing to show my kids (who just found a yo-yo today and were trying to learn). After watching many videos but not what I was looking for, we found this one and his style is more of actual yo-yo dancing than the string tricks on the other videos. Can’t believe this was posted just two days ago so my kids and I could find it! ????
