Enthusiasm! Energy! Excitement! Susan Orr has a
passion for Baton Twirling! Her childhood love for performing,
competing and teaching the neighborhood to twirl, has evolved through
the years into a full-time commitment. Susan graduated from
Indiana University with a high school teaching degree, but quickly
combined that with the opening of an instructional center where children
from ages 4-24, eagerly learned the sport of baton twirling. In
1981, Susan published BATON TWIRLING UNLIMITED, a 268 page book,
detailing the intricacies of twirling, strutting, even fire baton.
Susan is an NBTA accredited coach and judge who has worked throughout
the United States, England and Western Europe. The National Baton
Twirling Association honored Susan in 2003, by inducting her into the
Hall of Fame. And in 2004, Susan completed her most exciting
twirling task yet. BATON TWIRLING UNLIMITED on DVD! Three
volumes that teach the magical secrets of her amazing sport! Susan
wants to teach the world to twirl! Now in 2005, Susan is
introducing a performance-enhancing baton! The HEART BATON will
help each twirler become even better by avoiding slips and drops.
The HEART BATON is truly state of the art!
