Double Elbow Roll - Novice Baton Twirling - How to Twirl a Baton - Baton Twirling Tutorial

Do you enjoy my tutorial videos? Visit my website www.howtotwirla... to make a donation and buy a shirt to help support my channel so I can keep making these "how to" videos!
I continue my "How to Twirl a Baton" channel with the "Novice Baton Twirling" series by teaching my version of a double elbow roll. This move is one of the most common rolls in baton, so it is very important to learn it and to learn it right! This trick is a build from the single elbow roll; however, this trick will also build up to more difficult, flashy rolls that you will learn later on through my channel. I go over this move step by step making sure to go over proper body work and technique.
*Note-Make sure you place the baton onto your arm. Don't throw it or hold it on the end!
If you have any questions, comment below and I will respond as soon as I can! Also, feel free to post a video response of you doing this trick! I would love to see your progress!

Hello. Wisconsin here. I came across your video and it sure does bring back fun memories of my Competitive baton and drum corps days. I started twirling when I was 4 and stopped when I was 21. I got married and had a family. Still have my baton and all my uniforms. Keep on twirling !! ✌️👯‍♀️💜

Hi Abby! I'd like to thank you because this helped me a lot and I'm getting a new baton in the mail soon (I'm using my sister's old nasty one haha) and I'm also going to Kelly's Baton And Poms. (super nervous :p) And you put a lot of time and effort into these videos and taught me stuff I didn't know (turns out I was doing the flourish wrong! :O) Sorry for the long comment but THANK YOU!!! :D

[@ellie_-xo4xu]

I still can't do it have you got any other tricks to be about To do it

[@Drummlan]

I like the end of the roll, when you bring the right arm up and out. It looks pretty! :) I've usually just continued with both arms going down and out to the sides - always nice with new ideas! I've been taught to catch this trick different (putting the left hand on your right side of the body, under the right arm, palm facing away, and the back of your hand touching the right arm. Hm, it was hard to explain...). In "my way" the baton will do half a turn less. I don't know which way is "better" or more correct, but I think your way may be easier since it could give a split of a second more to figure out when to catch. I'll have to test it on my twirlers... :P As always, thanks for your videos (and sorry for a long, messy comment)! xP

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

I think I understand how you are catching it. I will have to try it too as it would help with speed in solo competition where as my version is more "showy". Thanks for watching!

[@hannahnicole886]

I'm an intermediate twirler and I thinks its time for 3 baton. Can u help me! PLS?

[@luciatrstanova8911]

any tips on hands positions? i keep getting my one stuck betwen wrists and i close it there, so it cant continue to other elbow.

[@makaylakintzel4947]

The baton keeps sliding over my arm instead of rolling # Ifailedatthis

[@edinakardos9463]

This is cool, I love doing this trick!:)

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Same here! Its a ton of fun!

[@janesayer9136]

[@denisimamovic5381]

How long did it take you to learn?

[@adriennedavis9190]

Tips for tryouts? Please! I'm going to try out at my school and I need tips.

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Tip 1 - Don't wait until the last minute to start practicing. You should be practicing throughout the year, always! Tip 2 - Be showy and smile! Tip 3 - Have fun!

[@adriennedavis9190]

thank you!

[@ilovepink1527]

Thnxs!! Can you do a tutorial on continuos finger twirl?? I'm not sure what's it called

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Already got cha covered! Continuous 2 Finger Twirls - Novice Baton Twirling - How to Twirl a Baton - Baton Twirling Tutorial

[@alyssadoesmakeup8862]

I twirl with a group in parades but, there are feature twirlers. One of them cant catch a baton without her hand going over her head and the other one only catches the baton half of the time. Everyone says that I twirl so good and I should be a majorette when im in high school (I'm 10). I really wanna prove that I have what it takes to be a feature twirler for my group! One and Two spins are a big deal for feature twirlers and everytime I try to go for a one spin I get scared ill drop the baton on my head and just turn to the side or backwards! I always get scared when attemting to do new things I don't know how to get over my fear! Any Help/Tips? Please Help Me!

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Most importantly, as a baton twirler, you should always encourage others and not put them down for what they can and cannot do. Everyone drops, and everyone has their bad days. As long as they are trying that is all that matters. As for your trick question, you need to make sure you are releasing the baton in front of you and following through with your hand/arm (see my thumb toss and/or flourish thumb toss video). Also you need to make sure you are spinning in one spot on one foot. I plan to have a one spin video out soon, so stay tuned! Twirl on!

[@alyssadoesmakeup8862]

Thank You! I have been practicing my One spins for a while and they got really better! I always am sticking up for Jenna (one of the feature twirlers) Because lots of people spread hate on her. I can tell she practices hard! I love watching your videos! My favorites are, Around The World and The Palm Spin!

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Alyssa Loves Thanks for your support!

[@sutekiisakura3871]

[@mihajlokovacevic03]

Ouch I really hurt my left arm :(

[@Chloe-ys9kp]

Same

[@hanjihannaya7419]

This is harder than it looks

[@DerKrawallkeks]

cool=)

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Thanks!

[@Chloe-ys9kp]

I couldn't do this it I got so fustrated

[@adriennedavis9190]

Sad news I didn't make my middle school majorette team. There was 10 girls trying out and my friend and I both didn't make it. I just don't understand how someone who dropped their baton 3 times could make it while I only dropped once. ( I did everything correctly tho)

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

I am sad for you, but I hope you do not give up the sport. Keep trying. As for someone making the team who dropped more than you, there are a lot of factors that could play into who makes a team or wins a competition than just drops. It just depends on what the coach/judge was looking for. Was she looking for skill, good technique/body work, showmanship, or character/personality? Baton is more than just having less drops than the other person.

[@aimi2412]

これどう頑張っても出来ません😭

[@PLiu-te3ok]

Omg aren't you cold???

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Haha! It was cold, but not as cold as when you are twirling in a leotard in the snow!!!!
