Minnesota Twirlers Perform in Florida

A group of three performers from Dance-Twirl Minnesota escaped our cold, Minnesota winter to compete at the Twirl Mania International Championships.

This competition held annually at Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida attracts over 4000 twirlers and 10,000 spectators and family members. The competition is in its 19th year and continues to grow every year. Twirl Mania attracts the very best twirling athletes from around the world.

Dance-Twirl Minnesota performers, Emma Moore, Molly Rosenfield and Brooke Bowe were excited and proud to be a part of this elite group of athletes. Each girls competed in both individual and team events with Brooke Bowe placing Top Ten in several individual events and the team performing one of their best routines ever.

The girls were also invited to perform in the afternoon parade at the Magic Kingdom. Emma, Brooke and Molly were required to learn a routine prior to arriving in Florida and then completed a try-out to earn a spot in the parade. The girls beamed as they marched throughout Magic Kingdom, performing for thousands of spectators.

The girls loved their experience at Twirl Mania and Dance-Twirl Minnesota looks forward to sending an even larger contingent of twirlers next year.

Performing for a Cause

The students at Dance-Twirl Minnesota held their annual holiday show on December 8th at the Eagan Community Center.  This show is free of charge to all students, families and friends however all spectators are asked to donate a food item or toy.  Despite snow and slippery roads, Dance-Twirl Minnesota families came out to support their performer and give back to their community.  We were able to donate over 100 pounds of food and 40 toys to Toys for Tots.  Owner, Jacinda Miller, states, “I’m so proud of our families and their willingness to give back to our community. A huge thank you to everyone that helped us to reach our goals.”  

Dance-Twirl Minnesota performers will put one last show on in 2013 and that is at the Commons on Marice on Sunday, December 15 at 6:00.  The public is welcome to come watch their holiday themed show!
