About Us
​
The vision of our team is to inspire a lasting love and appreciation for baton twirling through artistic excellence, exhilarating performances, and innovative choreography.
Our goal, as coaches, is to not only teach baton twirling, but to also inspire our students. We expect all of our students to work hard. We believe that hard work will not only improve their technique, but also develop personal dedication in our twirlers which will serve as a valuable attribute in their lives. We are fully devoted to providing twirlers of all ages an encouraging environment where they are given the opportunity to grow and express themselves. We wish to encourage our students to achieve their fullest potential and support them as they develop into well-rounded individuals in body, mind, and spirit.
