Join the Starshine Twirling Team!

By Director and Coach Erica Clements August 9, 2024

Baton twirling is a dynamic sport, which combines dance, gymnastics, musicality and artistic expression. This combination creates extremely talented athletes who go on to wow audiences at sporting events, parades, community gatherings and competitive venues. Twirling is truly a stand out sport!

The unique opportunities provided in the world of twirling create enriching experiences and teach valuable life lessons to young twirlers. Some of these opportunities include:

  • Many twirlers compete with their team and in individual events, which creates space for twirlers to be part of a team, while striving to achieve their individual goals.
  • Colleges around the country offer partial to full scholarships for feature twirler and majorette line twirlers.
  • Twirlers who compete at the national level may qualify for world championship events held internationally.
  • Traveling to compete across regions and at the national level forges friendships among young athletes.






We are Essex County's premier baton twirling team, serving the communities of Boxford, Topsfield, Middleton, Danvers, North Andover, Georgetown, Ipswich, Hamilton, Wenham and more!

Our former state, regional, national and world champion coaches share their years of coaching experience and love for the sport. We prioritize sportsmanship, teamwork and hard work with all of our recreational and competition team classes and Twirl Camps. We believe every twirler is a star and when we shine bright as a team, we shine brighter as individuals!
