Once 1 did it in England atop a 20-fool pedestal, but the guide wire slipped and 1 didn't try it from that high anymore, "I practiced it with five lacrosse balls later and did that a few times in public in the late '30s as a finale trick. I was at Jack Lynch's Walton Roof Hotel Night Club in Philadelphia when someone called the photographer to get this picture." Though his mobility has been hampered by a stroke two years ago.

  • 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.

  • IJA Festival RFP 2024 R2
    International Jugglers’ Association FESTIVAL SITE REQUIREMENTS 2024 updated 2019-08 INTERNATIONAL JUGGLERS’ ASSOCIATION FESTIVAL SITE REQUIREMENTS introduction August, 2019 The International Jugglers' Association holds one event a year, it’s a week long, and it’s awesome. If we bring our event to your city, you will love having us there, you’ll miss us when we leave, and you’ll want us to come back again soon. We are now seeking a host city for our festival in 2024. Unfortunately, no one gets paid to attend a juggling convention. Everyone coming to an IJA festival is paying their own way, and most of them are traveling thousands of miles to attend our celebra- tion. Therefore, we are laser-focused on affordability of the festi- val venues, lodging and meals for our jugglers spending the week at the IJA festival. We will consider destinations for our future festivals only if all the economic and logistical factors look promising and can offer real affordability in lodging rates. Casino resorts, beach or mountain resorts and corporate conference centers generally do not provide us with the mix of affordability, choice and facilities we need for a successful week. Please see the accompanying materials for specifics on the require- ments for our festival, and some additional background informa- tion. Please note that this festival requirements document is extensive, but there are very few “show-stopper” items in it; i.e., we can work without or around nearly any item on the list if the bal- ance of your proposal is very attractive. I would be pleased to speak to you by phone to discuss how your city and facilities can fit into our plans for a future festival, before you begin preparing a formal proposal.
