Figure 8 - Novice Baton Twirling - How to Twirl a Baton - Baton Twirling Tutorial

I continue the "How to Twirl a Baton" series with the "Novice Baton Twirling" segment by teaching the figure 8 twirl in the right and left hand. This move is great for new twirlers because it starts working on basic hand eye coordination and wrist flexibility with twirling. This twirl is also the starting point to learning more difficult moves in the future.

I go over this trick step by step making sure to go over proper body work and technique.

If you have any questions, comment below and I will respond as soon as I can! Also, feel free to post a video response of you doing this trick! I would love to see your progress!

I did baton twirling for 2 years but it has already been 5 years since I did it and we weren't very advanced so it is fun to relearn some of my old tricks 😄

Do you have any tips on how to gain wrist flexibility? I’m in a show playing a character who needs to be able to twirl so I need to learn to twirl fast but my wrists just aren’t very flexible

The figure 8 is the one move I know really well. My aunt taught me how to do this several years ago and I've been doing it and practicing it for years. What should I do with this next?

Hi Abby! Can you help me? There are these cheap coloured batons at my local Indigo store, should I buy one to twirl or are those "just toys?" Please help! My friend baton twirls and I really don't know where else I can get batons from!

[taliyahtorres]

I don't get how to get the baton to acually twirl and like where would you pinch it. I just seriously got my baton yesterday. I'm so confused. O.O :'(

[rubyalmanza]

i know people are different but i have never owned a baton but the majorettes in my school do and i just get a stick and twirl and learned on my own and every time one of my friends let me use there's i do it like im a natural its quite easy for me to twirl and figure out things
