About
Rockola Twirlers coaches have been teaching youth baton twirling in Lake County, Ohio for over 30 years. Our twirlers range from age 3 and up, with many going on to twirl in high school and college.
Rockola is a popular fifties-style jukebox and the inspiration behind the '50s theme that the Rockola Twirlers group has embodied since its start. Both the uniforms the twirlers wear and the music they twirl to reflect the era and the twirlers march in parades to nostalgic rhythms coming from a 1948 panel truck.
We believe that baton is a truly enjoyable and rewarding hobby and sport. Young twirlers have a chance to develop spatial awareness, fine motor skills, coordination, flexibility, ambidexterity, stamina, rhythm, and body strength. Twirlers also benefit from the life skills that the sport of baton twirling teaches such as sportsmanship, teamwork, time management, goal-setting skills, self-confidence, positive self-esteem and commitment. Twirlers learn to deal with pressure and appreciate the rewards of determination and dedication. These skills support them throughout their lives.
It takes a lot of practice, but the final outcome of all the work put in is worth it. The parades and competitions are fun for the twirlers because they have a chance to show off in their fancy uniforms, strutting their stuff.
We always stress the fun of the sport. Competitions are challenging, but the fact that the twirlers performed their personal best is something to strive for and be proud of.
