Dance Baton Suitable For Majorette Twirler Twirling Beginner Tensile Steel Shaft

Product Information

Majorettes originally performed a typical carnival dance originating in the Rhineland, where the young women who perform this dance are called Tanzmariechen (Dance Marys) in German or Dansmarietjes in Dutch. During the carnival, the normal form of government was parodied. Also the army and defense forces were traditionally parodied as a way of protesting against the Prussian occupation of the Rhenish area at the time. In Cologne, these imitations arose in particular to make Prussian militarism look ridiculous.

Increasingly, camp followers were women married to corporals or privates, with tasks like washing the linen.Although current majorettes have their roots in the carnival scene, majorette associations widely break these historical ties, appearing more as sports or dance clubs.

The balanced rounded ball end caps are manufactured from drop dead rubber, which means when dropped the baton will not bounce. Majorettes are often confused with cheerleaders; baton twirling, however, is more closely related to rhythmic gymnastics than to cheerleading.Although this is our beginners baton it is by no means a basic baton, so should not be compared to some of the less expensive lightweight batons which are available. They became no longer typical army prostitutes but also not proper married women. Besides caring for the soldiers, they could still continue entertaining them in various ways. The baton shaft is manufactured from high quality 10mm (3/8") chrome tensile steel for superior strength and weight. There are two methods for measuring for a twirling baton, please ask your dance teacher her preferred method.
