Meet the Instructor!

Miss Kristen began her baton twirling journey in the 4th grade. She participated in Texas U.I.L. competitive solo twirling meets from 7th grade through her senior year in high school. When she wasn’t practicing for solo competitions, Kristen enjoyed being part of her high school’s line or group of twirlers all 4 years of high school where they performed during the football half-time show and even twirled fire! She loves to choreograph new routines and is looking forward to passing on her love of baton to the next generation!
