WHO ARE BEXLEY BATON TWIRLERS

The Bexley Baton Twirling Studio was established in 1961 and is the longest running baton twirling club in Australia. It is run by a team of experienced & qualified coaches.

The coaching team have over 30 years’ coaching & judging experience, and have competed at numerous World Championship & International Cup competitions.

We have consistently produced athletes who have succeeded at all levels – state, national and international standard. Our dedication to baton twirling has seen many of our students go on to pursue their coaching & judging qualifications, enabling them to give back to the sport that they love.

At the Studio, we are one big family and many of our students have become lifelong friends even after retiring from the sport.

WHAT IS BATON TWIRLING

Baton Twirling is a stunning, unique artistic sport combining the technical skill of twirling the baton with the grace of ballet, the passion of dance, and the strength & agility of gymnastics.

The aim is to simultaneously blend moving the baton with fluid body movements, so the baton becomes an extension of the twirler, rather than just an apparatus. Once this is achieved, baton twirling is exciting, creative and an amazing sight to behold.

Baton Twirling is performed in Teams or Groups, in pairs or as an individual twirling one, two or three batons.

Baton twirling is a great activity for participants of all ages. It’s a wonderful way to meet new people and learn a fabulous new skill. At its core, baton twirling teaches discipline, teamwork & good sportsmanship in a fun and creative atmosphere.

There are many benefits to participating in the sport of baton twirling. It promotes healthy exercise while helping to develop an athlete’s gross & fine motor skills, spatial awareness and hand eye coordination. Athletes also develop strength, flexibility and stamina, as well as poise and a positive body image as a result of participating in the sport of baton twirling.
