  • 2019 NBTA Solo Rules
    2019 NBTA Solo Rules Changes are highlighted FOREWORD Few activities provide a more wholesome and worthwhile outlet for the energies of today’s youth than baton twirling. Sanctioned twirling contests are largely responsible for the growth, development, and advancement of twirling as a performance sport, performing art, and beneficial activity. Many of the keen traits found in today’s twirlers can be directly credited to their participation in twirling contests, i.e., physical fitness, good sportsmanship, poise, showmanship, teamwork, personality projection, ambidexterity, and self- confidence. Baton twirling contests provide a place where baton twirlers can join together in friendly competition and share common interests- while participating in a program for baton boosters and the public to view. NBTA INTERNATIONAL’s large network of baton twirling contests is an important part of the national and world baton twirling picture. There is usually greater interest and a higher level of twirling proficiency found in areas where there are top-level competitions. MOTTO AND PLEDGE OF HONOR NBTA INTERNATIONAL’s motto is “winning is participating!” Accept new friendship as you extend your friendship to your fellow competitors. And remember, you are a part of the great HONOR SYSTEM that helps set apart baton twirling from many other sports. It is your responsibility to maintain accurate records and to compete in the proper classification and age divisions. NBTA INTERNATIONAL contestants are bound by the following code of honor: My Pledge – Code of Honor In order to substantiate advancement, I pledge responsibility, with the help of my parents and teacher, to accurately record my twirling contest participation, dates, locations, categories, age divisions, placements, and advancement.

Twirling Progress Baton twirling can be traced back many decades to Siam, Arabia and the Samoan Islands where a “far- cry” form of twirling was used for ceremonial dance and celebration. Spears, knives and guns were manipulated in a manner that resembles many of the movements found in twirling today. The first sign of baton twirling in America was the early juggling drum majors who performed feats of balance and dexterity that would amaze even the most critical of modern day twirlers. Probably the greatest of early performers was Major C. W. Booth, of Chicago, who performed in every civilized country in the world.

Fridays 3:30 - 4:45 9/25/15 - 12/4/15 Tuition: $183.00 Grades 1 - 5 Hoop Dance is an exciting newer dance form, which involves dancing and artistic movement with a hula hoop used as a prop or dance partner. Hoop dancers rotate the hoop around parts of the body other than the waist, including the hips, chest, neck, shoulders, thighs, knees, arms, hands, thumbs, feet and toes. Modern hooping draws from such diverse art forms as hip-hop, rhythmic gymnastics, freestyle dance, baton twirling, and more. For our Hoop Dance course, we constructed children’s sized dance hoops for use in class each week. “Dance hoops” are different from toy hoops because they are constructed with a heavier material, which provides a better grip, and are balanced and proportioned for dance movement.

  • It's a Circus!
    Life? It’s A Circus! Teacher Resource Pack INTRODUCTION Unlike many other forms of entertainment, such as theatre, ballet, opera, vaudeville, movies and television, the history of circus history is not widely known. The most popular misconception is that modern circus dates back to Roman times. But the Roman “circus” was, in fact, the precursor of modern horse racing (the Circus Maximus was a racetrack). The only common denominator between Roman and modern circuses is the word circus which, in Latin as in English, means "circle". Circus has undergone something of a revival in recent decades, becoming a theatrical experience with spectacular costumes, elaborate lighting and soundtracks through the work of the companies such as Circus Oz and Cirque du Soleil. But the more traditional circus, touring between cities and regional areas, performing under the big top and providing a more prosaic experience for families, still continues. The acts featured in these, usually family-run, circuses are generally consistent from circus to circus, with acrobatics, balance, juggling and clowning being the central skillsets featured, along with horsemanship, trapeze and tightrope work. The circus that modern audiences know and love owes much of its popularity to film and literature, and the showmanship of circus entrepreneurs such as P.T. Barnum in the mid 1800s and bears little resemblance to its humble beginnings in the 18th century. These notes are designed to give you a concise resource to use with your class and to support their experience of seeing Life? It’s a Circus! CLASSROOM CONTENT AND CURRICULUM LINKS Essential Learnings: The Arts (Drama, Dance) Health and Physical Education (Personal Development) Style/Form: Circus Theatre Physical Theatre Mime Clowning Themes and Contexts: Examination of the circus style/form and performance techniques, adolescence, resilience, relationships General Capabilities: Personal and Social Competence, Critical and Creative Thinking, Ethical Behaviour © 2016 Deirdre Marshall for Homunculus Theatre Co.

Hilton Columbus Downtown New Albany HS Premier at Sawmill Athletic Club SuperKick Columbus Throw Nation Walnut Hill Disc Golf Course www.arnoldsportsfestival.com Arnold Sports Festival 2020 Arnold Sports Festival Celebrating 32 Years What began as a one-day professional bodybuilding competition in Columbus, Ohio in 1989 has grown into the world’s largest multi-sport fitness festival, with four days of sports competitions, demonstrations, seminars, entertainment and the latest fitness products. The Arnold Sports Festival story dates back to 1970, when Columbus sports promoter Jim Lorimer invited a young Austrian bodybuilder named Arnold Schwarzenegger to Columbus to compete in the Mr. World contest that was accompanying that year’s World Weightlifting Championships. Schwarzenegger won the contest, earned $1,000 and vowed to return to Columbus one day to partner with Lorimer and promote the sport of bodybuilding. After winning the Mr. Olympia contest every year between 1970-1975, Schwarzenegger was true to his word. Schwarzenegger and Lorimer promoted the Mr. Olympia contest in Columbus six times between 1976 and 1986 before founding the Arnold Classic in 1989. When Schwarzenegger was appointed the chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, he charged Lorimer to expand the scope of the Arnold Classic weekend to include other sports. Martial arts and gymnastics were among the first added. More events have been added each year and the weekend was renamed the Arnold Sports Festival in 2006.

  • America's News English
    America's News English It's a Toss Up Catch the juggling craze at annual festival - in Lincolnshire Daily Herald - Thursday, April 22, 2004 Author: Abby Scalf Daily Herald Staff Writer Every month, festivals are planned around the country to bring people together to toss around a few balls or clubs or other props. This weekend, Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire is the location for Toss Up, a juggling festival that attracts the best jugglers from every state. The eighth annual event is sponsored by the school's community juggling club, said club sponsor Larry Scalzitti. The club is made up of students and area residents. "Once you get the juggling bug, it is hard to put things down," he said. Every day, spectators can either juggle or watch others in the school's field house. Open juggling will run from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The event attracted 500 people last year. Scalzitti said juggling is a great hobby because the list of props and tricks for each prop is endless. Toss Up attracts some of the greatest jugglers, not only to meet and greet visitors, but also to lead workshops. Workshops from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday are geared for beginners to advanced jugglers. Instructors will cover all types of props, such as balls, clubs, cigar boxes and devil sticks. The festival also will feature vendors around the country who will sell props and juggling games and offer a free raffle Sunday.

  • Baton Rolling on a Series of Curved Surfaces
    Bridges Finland Conference Proceedings Baton Rolling on a Series of Curved Surfaces Akihiro Matsuura Yuki Yamada Graduate School of Science and Engineering Tokyo Denki University Ishizaka, Hatoyama-cho, Hiki, 350-0394 Japan E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract We call an instrument that generates geometrically and aesthetically appealing spatio-temporal patterns through actual manipulation a visual instrument. We present a novel visual instrument that uses batons to roll on a series of curved surfaces. We fabricated a prototype of the instrument and confirmed that the batons can be smoothly rolled and manipulated on the surfaces and that the instrument leads to new types of rolling-based play and performances. 1 Introduction Rolling a geometric object on a certain curve or surface has been studied since around the 17th century in both theoretical and practical standpoints, mainly in mathematics, physics, and for applications in astronomy [1] and mechanical engineering [2]. Rolling objects has been also successfully used in play, sports, and performing arts. For example, hula hoops and hoop rolling use hoops to roll around a human body and on the ground. In baton twirling, there are tricks in which a baton is rolled around the body in various ways. As for visual performances, which is the main topic of this paper, for example performing artist Greg Kennedy enters a huge transparent conic in which he rolls up to seven balls on its inner surface. The authors have also explored new kinds of rolling-based performances using a large sphere, cylinder (vertical and horizontal), and truncated cylindrical surfaces [3-6].
