Baton Twirling

3 years+

​

Baton twirling is a unique and fantastically skilled sport that combines a variety of dance disciplines alongside the use of a baton. This helps students develop not only an understanding of different dance genres, improve hand eye co-ordination, learn the importance of hard work and determination needed to achieve goals and express themselves through a range of music styles and themes - it also provides them with opportunities to make lifelong friendships, set and achieve things that they never imagined they could and travel the country (for some, the world) competing in what they love.

We provide beginner classes through to advanced for all ages and are able to offer opportunities to perform in displays/showcases, enter grades and compete in local through to international competitions.

Lyrical/Contemporary dance is a style that combines various genres, such as ballet, jazz and acro. It is performed to music and encourages the dancer to use expression of emotions whilst learning to listen to the music carefully and use their movements to interpret the sounds. The choreography tends to tell a story and gives the dancer the opportunity to add their own style.
