Baton Twirling Supplies For Children

By Marcie Goodman


Taking your child to a majorette practice may become a regular activity. This will help your child to stay fit and healthy, and make some new friends. Baton twirling supplies are widely available to give your child the best chance of succeeding in their new sport.

Finding an appropriate class for your child is the first step. There are classes available that will be designed with younger children and even toddlers in mind, which can be a good introduction to decide whether competitions are appropriate. However, some clubs will not provide this opportunity, so it is worth checking before you choose the club.

For practising, it is likely that the children will be required to wear regular exercise clothing. For example, a loose top and leggings are suitable for most forms of exercise. As most practices take place indoors, it may be possible for your child to take part without shoes to begin with, although it is likely that trainers or dance shoes will be required for performances and competitions. Leotards are also popular for majorettes.

There may be a club uniform that your child could wear. This will help with the feeling of being part of a group, and may be of social help for younger children. If the club takes part in performances, there could also be a number of costumes chosen by the club that the child must wear. However, most clubs have access to a company that provides discounts for bulk buying, so you may benefit from a subsidised cost.

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.

One of the most important pieces of equipment is the buying of batons. Usually two are required for any given performance, but a child who is competing may find it useful to have a pair for practice and a pair for performing. They are fairly cheap and may be bought from within the club.

There are some embellishments that could be needed for children who wish to compete. Extra things such a sequins and ribbons can be added to costumes and attached to batons for special displays. External majorette suppliers will cater for this, but it may save costs to buy things such as ribbons from normal craft shops, as there will be plenty of choice and it may be the cheapest 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.
