Have you ever been impressed with Baton Twirlers and want to have a go for yourself? Well firstly you are going to need to get the correct sized baton for you. Many of our customers get stuck on how to determine the size of baton they need for Twirling Batons and so we at Dancemania are going show you how to measure for a baton.
There are many ways of measuring for a baton and each have their merits, but in consultation with teams and clubs in the UK and North America Dancemania presents the following methods. Which method you use is down to you and your coach to decide, but Dancemania recommends the second method as it provides a longer baton, which typically are easier to twirl.
When being measured, make sure you are standing tall and straight, with one arm extended out to the side parallel to the floor.
Measure the length in inches from the base of your neck to the end of the longest fingertip.
If the measurement is to nearest half an inch, then order the size rounded up. e.g. if arm length is 24 1/2″ then order a 25″ baton.
Choose the type of baton and Colour you would like.
