Baton Twirling Supplies For Children

By Marcie Goodman


A majorette group can be a fun class for a child to join. This could be just for fun, or it could be something done competitively. At any level, it is likely that your child will need baton twirling supplies.

To begin with, you will need to find an appropriate group. Some will cater specifically for younger children and even toddlers, whereas others will offer classes for older teenagers. The choice may depend upon the level at which your child would like to be involved with the exercise. Also, some groups will be unable to allow your child the opportunity to compete, so if this is important, you should check before signing up.

When attending normal practices, most clubs will allow normal exercise clothes. This is particularly useful at the beginning when it may be uncertain whether your child will enjoy the sport. When your child feels comfortable and decides that he or she would like to continue, it may then be good to buy a leotard and dancing shoes or trainers, depending on the requirements of the specific club. As most practices take place inside, your child may be allowed to dance with bare feet when they first join.

Club uniforms are usually quite cheap, but are generally worth buying. As well as the practical benefit, your child may also feel a sense of community with their new friends. For club performances, you may also be required to buy the costume as chosen by the group.

There are plenty of suppliers providing dance costumes, and some will design specifically with majorettes in mind. Bespoke companies are also available to carry out personal designs, but this could incur an extra cost. Alternatively, ask the club if they are involved with any suppliers, as they are likely to give you some catalogues, and may even provide a discount if bought through the club.

Perhaps the most important things to buy are the batons that your child will use for most performances. This will be required from the start, although some clubs will have spares for new starters to begin with. They can be bought quite cheaply, and may even be discounted if two pairs are bought with the aim of using one for practice and one for performance.

Special performances and competitions may require extra equipment. For example, ribbons can be attached to the batons. These can be bought from specific majorette suppliers, but will also be available from any craft shop in a range of colours, and this could be a cheaper option.

Baton twirling supplies are important for any child who is engaging in majorette performances. If your child is just beginning the sport, it may be worth allowing some time before buying the equipment so as to ensure that the activity is something that will be continued. However, as your child progresses, there are likely to be more costumes and embellishments that must be bought so that they will look their best when performing.
