Diabolo Dance Act Shanghai

Diabolo Dance Act Shanghai is a traditional Chinese dance group who perform impressive diabolo tricks, acrobatic performances and dance.

The diabolo is a juggling prop consisting of an axle and two cups or discs. This object is spun using a string attached to two hand sticks and evolved from the Chinese Yo-Yo!

A huge variety of tricks is possible with the diabolos, including tosses and various types of interaction with the sticks, string, and various body parts. Multiple diabolos can be spun on a single string.

The Diabolo Dance Act Shanghai perform with real grace and dexterity, in their beautiful, colourful costumes as they spin the diabolos rapidly, twirling it round and round their bodies. Diabolos float in the air around them, sometimes hovering upright with the strings horizontal.

The performers bodies and props flow together along with the musical beats, making it seem that the performers and their diabolos are one. A spectacular performance suitable for a wide range of events.
