One-Baton or Solo Twirling


Solo is the twirling performance by one person using one baton only. It involves twirling the baton in vertical and horizontal patterns, in the left and right hands, and in a continual, flowing motion while demonstrating a broad base of skills. A solo routine shows the ability of the athlete to demonstrate skills in the three twirling modes, aerials, rolls, and contact material, to a high degree with the added responsibility of continuity, and with consideration of simultaneous blending, design qualities, flow, performance skills appropriate for solo.
