Now... time to bring out the big guns. Our Freestylist's begin to warm-up during the lunch break. It’s like moving art – seeing all of the flying batons and coloured leotards decorate the floor. Before you know it, our Norway Freestylist's prove their worthiness and our Masters category bring back some of our favourite athletes – who totally still have it! It’s Claudia Cicco, Jessica Colless and Adam Gates who are announced as the Junior, Senior and Adult winners respectively. They would then have time to prepare themselves to compete for the famous Freestyle Champion of Champions title the next day.
The Pairs section was next on the agenda. From pretty, to jazz, to heart-felt – we saw it all. The costumes were amazing and each pair brought their A-game. Talk about hating to be a judge!
With all of the heavily baton-focused routines complete for the day, it was now time to move onto a different category of baton twirling – Dancetwirl. Just in case you didn’t know it yet, Australian’s love Dancetwirl! With so many to present, we skipped the warm-up! Our athletes danced all kinds of their favourite styles – jazz, ballet, contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop and more. Everybody brought their own individuality and entertainment factor to the floor – a delight for the crowd to watch and the judges to judge!
Our last routine for the night was the all-famous Specialised! A routine that virtually every athlete participates in, from 3 year olds, to coaches! If the crowd hadn’t laughed at some point throughout the day yet, they were guaranteed to laugh now. You may have seen some of our clubs’ photos on Facebook already, but there was certainly no shortage of slap-stick! From Ghoast Busters and We Speak No Americana, to Moulin Rouge and Magic Carpet Rides – every routine was a totally different genre. Some of the props used included pom-poms, maracas, a moving bush, hoops and just about anything you could think of! What an end to such a great day of competition. As dinner plans are made, parents scurry to get their kids ready to go home and get a good night's rest to prepare for Sunday…
