Baton Twirling Classes

Introduction to Baton Twirling: Baton I     Ages 5-6
In this introductory class, students will learn baton terminology and basic twirling skills while developing hand-eye
coordination and wrist flexibility. Basic strut is introduced with emphasis on proper form and hand placement. Students will
also learn simple dance twirl combinations as well as parade and recital routines.

Beginning Baton Twirling: Baton II     Ages 7-10
Skills learned in "Intro to Baton" are built upon in this class.  Hand twirls, rolls and tosses are explored more deeply.  A
variety of catches and releases are introduced.  Students will continue basic strut training and will begin to practice solo
routines and pageant modeling.  Dance twirl combinations as well as parade and recital routines are also learned.

Beginning/Intermediate Baton Twirling: Baton III     Ages 10+
Skills learned in Baton I & II are built upon in this class.  Hand twirls, rolls and tosses are explored more deeply.  A variety of
catches and releases are introduced.  Students will continue basic strut training and will begin to practice individualized solo
routines, pageant modeling, partnering, and teamwork.  Dance twirl combinations as well as parade and recital routines are
also learned.

Intermediate/Advanced Baton Twirling: Baton IV     Ages 12+
Students will continue to build upon skills learned in previous classes.  More advanced hand twirls, rolls, and tosses are
introduced, including continuous elbows, multiple spins and illusions. Emphasis will be placed on increasing flexibility and
perfecting body placement.  X-Strut is introduced. Students will continue solo work as well as dance twirl and parade
routines.  This class will prepare the student for competitive baton twirling.


In addition to baton twirling skills, all of our classes include stretching and exposure to basic dance technique. (Most often
we incorporate ballet and jazz techniques.)  Baton twirling is a unique sport in that in order to perform at the highest level,
baton twirlers must be able to create a demonstration of strength, flexibility, physical fitness, beauty, aesthetics, and
harmony in coordination with the twirling of their baton.  For students who are very serious about advancing in baton twirling,
we recommend taking dance classes in addition to their regular baton and dance twirl classes.  If you are looking for a
