Competition season is officially here in Texas! We are only 5 days from Twirl in the Woods, which is the first NBTA Contest of 2020, and we loved seeing all the great photos from the USTA TSTC Winter Fest competition held this past weekend in Magnolia, Texas. A huge congrats to all the competitors who participated in Winter Fest, and a special shout out the High Scoring Champions - Tara Zielinski (Strut), Maggie Chrudimsky (2 Baton), Keriann Hollis (3 Baton), McKenzie Gomez (Solo), and Agnesa Dolomite (Artistic Twirl). Way to go ladies!

Why: This competition is a legacy competition. Not only is it in its 49th year, which is something to be said on it's own, but it is directed by a mother/daughter duo. Twirlers from all over Texas, and surrounding states, come to this competition. This competition is also known for having out of state judges, so that contestants get a wide variety of comments. The directors have had years, and years, and YEARS of experience directing competitions; therefore, the event runs smoothly and timely. They also bring an upbeat element of fun throughout the day!
CONTEST HASHTAG: #dallastwirlfest2020
For this event, we would love for our Texas Twirlers to utilize the hashtag #dallastwirlfest2020 when posting photos of this competition on social media. Please also tag the Twirling is Catching FB page or Instagram account (@twirlingiscatchingtx) and we might share your picture on social media!
Highlighted Event: A highlighted event of this competition is the Parent/Twirler Duet category! Since this contest is directed by a mother/daughter, it is only fitting that other duos show off their talents!
Unique Feature: The awards are beautiful and PINK! Nice sized trophies, unique first place pageant awards, and beautiful tiaras are awarded. Also, all enjoy the special ratings trophies, as well as, the vintage medals awarded to the runners up.
Note from the Directors: Miss Shirley and Sheila appreciate all the support over the last 48 years, and look forward to many more years! See you on February 8th!
