Basics of twirling

Smile! Smile! Smile!Learn to pay attention to and control your posture.
Stay on pattern.
Your free hand looks much prettier if it is on you hips.
Your free hand should not display spider fingers.  Keep your fingers close together.
Practice every day (even if you just go through your routine once on a lazy day).
Practice will allow you body to start doing the routine or trick automatically.
Most important have fun!!!

Your appearance bears much scrutiny when twirling.
Hair and clothing (uniforms and shoes) should be clean and neat. 
The same goes for your baton. Batons look horrible with ripped tape and dirty ends.
Your hair looks its best when it is pulled back into a neat bun
   **Hint: you can buy bun makers that use your child's own hair to make curls around it.
             I suggest pulling the hair into a pony tail with a non-slip hair tie
             Pull the hair through the bun maker and evenly spread the hair over it
             I use another non-slip hair tie to hold the bun-maker into place.
             Place a third hair-tie over the bun-maker, but this time double it up.
             Use V bobby pins to keep the curls in place.
             Extra strength hair spray and glitter will put the finishing touches on your look.
