Baton Twirling Workshop geared toward young girls

Moriah Muscaro, otherwise known as the baton twirler featured at Laker football games, recently hosted a baton twirling workshop that allowed young girls the chance to perform during the Grand Valley State University men’s basketball halftime show on Feb. 7.

The halftime show featured more than 30 girls from the ages of 3-16 who performed a routine they learned during training at GVSU’s Allendale campus.

This is Muscaro’s third time hosting the GVSU Twirler for a Day event. She will be heading off to Italy in April to compete in the World Baton Twirling Championships.

All proceeds earned from the event went towards the Helen DeVos Children’s Center.
