Saline Twirlettes to Worlds
Donation protected
The Saline Twirlettes have earned an opportunity of a lifetime! They have a chance to compete for the gold on the world stage in the Netherlands in spring.
The Twirlettes' (24-member) National’s Team clinched their spot by winning the Grand National Show Corps Championship. This is their 21st national title and consecutive year as the overall Grand National Champion. To achieve this level, the team had to win their division of Senior, Small Show Corps and then compete again to win the overall Grand National Championship. During the national title competition, the team again swept all specialty awards, including teamwork, execution, movement and production. Show corps is one of the most challenging categories because it includes choreography of baton and props with dance movements, both stationary and traveling maneuvers, creativity, high-level of difficulty, and originality.
Only a few athletes from Michigan have earned placements on Team USA. This is the first time a team from Michigan has been selected to compete in the world championships.
The problem? Costs for travel, coaches, shipping of props, and entry fees are very extensive.
The Twirlettes who will be representing the USA is comprised of 24 girls, ages 11-20. Twirling experience ranges from 4 -15 years. The team practices 6-12 hours weekly during the school year and 35 hours per week mid-June through July to prepare for AYOP. Team members represent the communities of Saline, Ann Arbor, Grass Lake, Jackson, Ypsilanti, Belleville, Milan, Howell, Beverly Hills, Birmingham, Davison, and Sylvania, Ohio.
