2-Spins (and more) are all in the feet and arms. Don’t toss higher; spin tighter. Pull in your arms and legs to reduce air friction. The tighter you spin, the faster you spin (just watch ). Spot the baton. # # # # # #

One of the most amazing legacies in twirling history. We celebrated year 70 (70!!!) with Shirlee Bertolini in Tucson, Arizona this weekend. Over 40 twirlers reunited for the amazing celebration.

You may not know but today we celebrate Shirlee Bertolini being at the University of Arizona for 70 years! 70 years! She came to the U of A from Michigan as the first twirler and stayed as a coach. She’s impacted thousands of young women’s lives over her years and continues to love the sport of baton twirling and all of her “girls.” Thank you Shirlee for your dedication to the sport and college twirling! ❤️
