WBTF Board Representative Spotlight 2021
WBTF wishes to spotlight our member representatives to the Board of Directors during the next few months. We thank each of them for sharing a little information about themselves and what their goals are for the future in baton twirling.
Our first Spotlight is on Stefania Lenzini, President of FITw Italy:
Country & Name of Federation:
Italy - Italian Twirling Federation FITw
1. When and how did you get involved in baton twirling? *
I started as a Majorette in the late ‘70s, when I was 9 years old, and then switched to baton twirling after this was recognized as a sport in Italy.
2. What leadership positions have you been part of in your country? *
I first started out as twirling club manager, and later on was manager in the organization involved in coordinating the local sports activities in the area I live. In 2016, I was elected president of the WBTF Italian Federation and since 2017 I’ve been a member of the national board of CONI (the Italian Olympic Committee), as a representative of Discipline Sportive Associate (a branch of CONI in which twirling is represented alongside with other sport federations that are not in the Olympics yet).
3. How long have you represented your federation in the WBTF? *
Since July of 2016
4. What do you believe is your strongest asset as the WBTF representative of your federation? *
I’ve always attended the meetings with a propositive attitude, with the goal of contributing to the general growth and development of our sport, so that everyone could benefit from it.
5. What do you envision for baton twirling in your country in 10 years? *
Well, that’s a good question. First of all we have to realize that, if we want to grow and develop, we need to have a clear idea of who we are and what we want to do. In Italy, baton twirling is a not-so-well-known sport, but that still has a great worth. 10 years could seem like a long time, but everything depends on how you spend them. Priorities order, competence, determination and resources are the basic aspects to look to, in order to bring to life a program that looks to the future. I feel I can say that only with these assumptions, Italian baton twirling will be able to find its way and develop a future that is worth of respect.
6. Do you have an occupation outside of baton twirling? *
Baton twirling is my passion, but not a job for me. My main occupation consists in managing my artisanal business, that is specialized in manufacturing marble and granite.
7. Tell us a little about yourself … (i.e. family, pets, hobbies, awards, interests, etc.) *
I can say I’m lucky: I have a nice family, with my husband (that is also my business partner), my son Jacopo, 21, and Aurora, 18. If I had more free time (and that is, if my free time wouldn’t all be focused on twirling) I would for sure dedicate myself to many hobbies, like getting back to studying music, as I did when I was a teenager. I would also enjoy going to the theater and would love to take some time to travel.
8. What is one thing that no one in WBTF knows about you. *
Honestly, I don’t know!

The WBTF is offering an online Short Program evaluation program. Athletes can film themselves performing their Short Program, submit that video, and have it evaluated and scored by certified WBTF Master Judges.
The Two-baton routine should include a variety of skills and should be constructed with logical transitions, patterns and directional changes. Once the basic beginner routine is established, the coach can develop more difficulty and intricacy as the athlete progresses. In this video, Two-baton expert and educator, Kathy Forsythe, explains it all and will set you on your way to success!
This video demonstrates a basic 2 baton routine and will instruct the coach in:

Making a Two-Baton Athlete...
A good Solo twirler who picks up a 2nd baton will not necessarily become a skilled two-baton twirler. A well trained two-baton athlete can TWIRL two batons rather than just executing isolated two-baton tricks. In addition to the skills learned in solo, the two-baton twirler must learn correct timing and integration of BOTH batons.
Kathy Forsythe, a true baton twirling educator, gives you this video to instruct the coach in the basics of two baton and a teaching syllabus.
Video subject matter includes:
• the modes that should be included in a two-baton routine
• the timing required to accomplish certain moves and how to teach timing
• how to teach the basic skills so that execution is seamless

Video #3: “The Complete 3-Baton Package”
The third and final video in Ginnette’s series focuses on the more challenging 3 baton basics with variations; You will learn about vertical showers, Horizontal showers, Bowling pIns, Triple tosses adding double releases, variety of release and catch, high / low and some design suggestions...

About the Clinican
Everyone’s twirling journey is unique. With history on our side and the ability to evolve as a sport, Kyle has been fortunate to go from a competitor to coach, judge and professional with amazing experiences on all sides. Twirling helps define who she would become and lead to other opportunities in creations in movement. Trophies, State and Regional titles, National championships are the things a parent remembers. The students who become national champions and world medalists are great, but nothing is as rewarding as having amazing people in our lives because of the sport. Working on the Technical Advisory Group, being a US National and World judge, a clinician in several countries and other administrative and coaching titles are words on a resume. But, the goosebumps of a great performance, the life long connection to friends around the world and the freedom to create through visual display and movement are the magnets that keep us here and offer the best rewards. The discipline of practice, the joy of performance and the people involved have created a wonderful life.

March 25, 2020 - WBTF has officially postponed the WBTF European Cup in Blanes, Spain and the 35th WBTF World Championship in Riccione, Italy.
The events have now been postponed to the summer of 2021
The WBTF Managing Committee met today to finalize plans going forward. Present at the conference: Sandi Wiemers, Nicky O’Neill, Paul Rutten, Jeff Johnson, Moto Tsuchiya, Paola DeMarchi, Jackie Stewart, Jean Michel Ruelle, and Karen Cammer.
The managing committee had previously reviewed the country surveys in advance of today’s conference and noted there was an overwhelming consensus that the 2020 Euro Cup (Blanes) and the 2020 35th World Championship (Riccione) could not be held as scheduled, but should be re-scheduled in the future.
Unfortunately, the 2020 season is lost but we want to give our athletes the opportunity to complete under the same conditions as 2020 in 2021.
This means the 2021 European Cup and 2021 35th World Championship will continue to use the 2020 age calculation rule (age as at Dec 31 2020).
The 35th World Championship will now take place in 2021 - August 5-8, in Riccione, Italy. We are awaiting confirmation of the dates of the European Cup in Blanes, Spain.
Arrangements are now pending to move the IBTF NATIONS CUP / WORLD BATON TWIRLING CHAMPIONSHIP to be held in Liverpool forward to another year. Announcement will be forthcoming soon.
We understand the disappointment to all of the athletes and coaches, but our sport is certainly not alone in this matter.
If we all do our part in adhering to the requests from our medical and governmental authorities we will get through this crises sooner than later. The COVID-19 pandemic affects all of us, young and old alike. We’re all in this together.
We are ………… #APARTBUTTOGETHER !! Let's celebrate WORLD BATON TWIRLING DAY together online on APRIL 10TH bigger and better than ever.
In the meantime, stay home to stay safe and stay well.
Twirlers!
Given the period of great difficulty we are all facing, is time to show that our spirit to meet, train and compete has not changed!
Therefore, we thought about #APARTBUTTOGETHER, hoping to involve also the other Twirling federations around the world! To feel less lonely and shorten the time before we can start again.
What we ask you is simple:
- Take a picture of yourself holding the baton
- Add the hashtag #apartbuttogether
- Share it on your social media with the # and tag us!
It is true that we are apart but we will make it!
This idea was brought to WBTF by the Italian Twirling Federation. Please support #APARTBUTTOGETHER !

PREMIER OFFERING OF THIS COMBINED COURSE… FIRST EVER!
The World Baton Twirling Federation is committed to continual learning and skills enhancement. In this pursuit, the WBTF Technical Committee has created a Level One Coaches and Judges Certification.
The objective of the course is to provide insights on the most salient issues facing Baton Twirling today, from a joint coaches and judges perspective.
The first day of the course will dive deep into the mechanics and delivery of key fundamental skills, and the necessary progressional model required for success. The second day will address the B level of solo, artistic twirl and teams for coaches and judges alike.
In addition to the core learnings of the course, the program is designed to provide a parity of understanding across the world, and enable the participants the opportunity to return to their countries, and adopt the gold standard practices into their local operating models of coaching and judging.
This is a unique learning opportunity. In part because you are with your peers from around the world, having the opportunity to collaborate on the learning and adoption of these new strategies, with our global leaders. Anyone wishing to obtain, or already has, clinician status, is highly recommended to take this certification.
Course will be delivered by Jean Michel Ruelle, WBTF Coaches Chair and Jackie Stewart the WBTF Judges chair.
The very first combined workshop will be hosted by The Jewel of Atlantis Baton & Dance Competition March 19-20, 2020, Nassau, Bahamas. The USTA is the official Education Sponsor at the Atlantis competition. Register online for the Level One Coaches & Judges Workshop at https://thejewelofatlantis.com/education-day.
