The FantastiX Baton Team

Free After-School Club

 

The After-school Baton Club is an opportunity for children to try out the sport of baton. We have three terms (Fall, Winter, Spring), each culminating in a performance to show off our new skills. The focus of the practices is on having fun while learning how to twirl and dance.

PRACTICES:
The club practices are on Tuesdays, from 3:35-4:00. Parents and siblings may wait in the hallway or play on the playground during class time. Please pick up your chlld promptly at 4:00 as there is no child-care during team practices, which begin immediately after the club practices.

BATONS:
The coach has a set of batons that the club twirlers may borrow for class; however, they may not take them home. If you want a baton for practicing at home, you can buy a toy baton at a toy store. You can also buy a "real baton" from the coach for $26.

CLOTHING:
For class, clothes should be snug, not baggy, so that you don't snag them when you're twirling. Leggings, tight T-shirts, leotards, etc., are all good choices. Not recommended: long dresses, flip-flops, or boots.

For performances, twirlers need to wear a plain white T-shirt (not baggy), and dark pants or leggings. They will be provided with accessories to make the costume complete! Twirlers should wear plain white sneakers for the performance.

HAIR & JEWELRY:

Boys and girls should remove all jewelry and watches before class.

For class, girls' hair should be pulled back in a ponytail. If she likes to wear it down, you can send her with a hairband so she can pull it back for class.

These hair and jewelry requirements are for safety and ease of learning.

For performances, girls MUST have their hair in a slicked back ponytail with no wispies. Look for more details before each performance.
