Why Twirlers Twirl

The purpose of twirling is to encourage today’s youth to grow both mentally and physically.  Students will gain more self-confidence and a sense of belonging.  Through the art of twirling and dancing, your child will develop discipline, motivation and responsibility.  It also develops motor skills and eye-hand coordination, while increasing athletic ability.

What Twirlers Do

Students of baton twirling strive to achieve excellence and gain confidence athletically, emotionally and socially.  Baton twirlers participate in community parades and perform in competitions based on their age and skill level.  Baton twirling is internationally recognized.  Many prestigious universities offer scholarships to individual and group twirlers.

What Twirlers Need

A twirler needs to bring with her/him a positive attitude and the desire to learn.  Without these essential ingredients, a twirler will not effectively learn the art and sport of twirling.  A twirler also needs a regulation baton, comfortable clothes for practice, and lace-up sneakers.  Batons can be purchased from instructors.

How Twirlers Learn
