I grew up in Texas where still today twirling is a popular art form. I started twirling at age 4. I took eight years of dance to include tap, jazz, beginner ballet, gymnastics and twirling from Holli Barron Dance Studio in Tyler, Texas; where I also became a student teacher and took advanced dance courses through Dance Teachers of America. I also took 2 additional years of private lessons in advanced twirling. I performed as a majorette in high school for four years as well as head majorette and drum major for Winona High School Band. I performed at multiple competitions and in the State of Texas UIL and Miss Texas Twirl competitions. I went on to teach twirling in several dance studios and was a dance and cheer coach for several years.
