baton twirlers
Spinning stick artists
Baton twirlers are performers who spin, toss, and manipulate metal batons in choreographed routines, typically accompanying marching bands at parades and sporting events.
The activity combines dance, gymnastics, and precise hand-eye coordination.
Competitive baton twirling exists as its own discipline: The baton twirlers led the homecoming parade.
