ABOUT THE WOLFE TONE TWIRLERS
The Wolfe Tone twirlers are a baton twirling club from Bray Co. Wicklow. We were formed on the 9th of August 2010, and our troupe leaders are Rebecca, Nessa and Rachel.
The troupe is made up of members from 4 up to 24 years of age. We will be taken part in competitions, Christmas displays and local events when the troupe is ready.
Baton twirling is a wonderful activity for learning hand eye coordination, balance, determination, discipline and performance skills.
The members will learn all different types of moves used in baton twirling some of these are finger twirls, flips, rolls and wraps plus the basic twirls.
At competition events we take part in are solo twirls, dance twirl teams, pompom team, basic strut and lots more.
The troupe is also learning other skills such as team work, dance choreography and self confidence.
Our class is a 2 hours session full of twirling, dancing and fun games for the kids.

Wolfe Tone twirlers aims are

To help young people gain confidence and build relationships with other young people of the same age.
To provide education in the sport of baton twirling.
We also aim to provide the team with a fun and competitive sport and social life.
