"YoYo brings a special, ecstatic energy to the stage, as she always motivates and inspires children to have a tremendously fun and festive time," said Peter Chiovarou, Zlock's director of community programming and college events.

YoYo is Yvonne Kusters and her shows are designed to expose kids to a healthy blend of live music, storytelling, and playful activities. Children (and adults, too) will enjoy going on lively adventures, exploring faraway places, and being downright silly, she says.

"Kids love to call me YoYo- because that's what I like to do - go up and down and spin all around," she said. "I started my fitness journey and became a nationally certified fitness professional 20 years ago right before college. Since then, I've created an online Kids Fitness Training program called 'Let's Play Today' and love sharing what I do with our online courses used internationally."

Children love to pretend to be on a romping fun-filled train ride; to pop bubbles and get clean in a giant bubble bath; drive their cars to the red light/green light song, and march around like their favorite animals in the zoo, she said.

With songs inspired by classic and contemporary kids' music, YoYo has a vibe that's all her own. To learn more about YoYo, visit https://www.gowithyoyo.com/
