Uniforms play an important role in baton twirling. You can purchase basic outfits for practice, but it’s a good idea to think about the uniform you are going to wear for professional performances. More importantly, you need to make sure the uniform offers breathability, and is good for physical activity.
Are you twirling for a school or team? If so, the team might have their own regulations, or specific requirements for a uniform. Find out from your team where to get quality uniforms at a good price. Think about color, shoes, gloves, and anything else you might need. For more information on Baton-Twirling Uniforms, contact us today.

At 7 years old, Emily Reyer picked up her first baton in Kathy Forsythe’s Boys and Girls club class and never set it down. Eight years later, Reyer is still twirling every week with the same coach. All the work seems to be paying off.
In May, Reyer won the state title for her age group in five of six events. She then went on to compete for the Grand Championship titles in dance twirl, strut, two-baton and three-baton. She won the dance twirl and strut titles and took second place in the two- and three-baton categories. The grand championship is comprised of the winners from each age group to determine the best of the best.
“It’s a real experience for me,” Reyer said. After eight years, the excitement of competition still motivates her to continue.
Reyer’s first national competition was in 2005 in Kansas, but one of her favorite moments was at the national competition in Daytona, Fla. In 2008 where she qualified in three events.
“I still get nervous,” she said.
In addition to reaching national-level competitions, Reyer practices and competes with a national baton team called Encore.
