Full story
Competitive baton twirling is a sport that requires strength, stamina, and determination. Athletes combine the skills of traditional twirling, dance, and gymnastics to perform a variety of routines throughout a competitive season. Athletes put in countless hours towards their baton handling skills, learning new techniques and tricks, memorizing routines, advancing their ballet and jazz dance skills, strength and flexibility, and stage performance. Ann’s AllStars is coached by long-time Colorado resident Ann Durkin and our committed athletes live in Fort Collins and Windsor.

Our team goals for the 2019-2020 competitive season include traveling to the United States Twirling Association (USTA) Central Region Championships and the USTA National Championships. All donations will be used for that purpose.
We are seeking to raise approximately $8000.00 in total to assist in travel funds for our athletes and coach. This tee-shirt campaign is just one of many ways in which we hope to accomplish this lofty goal by April 15, 2020.
