#TeamTexas AYOP 2017 - Twirl ATX

Hello Texas Twirl Fans!

Since there are only 16 days left until AYOP, and we have SOOO MANY Texas Twirlers attending, we will have a new post every single day until we leave for Indiana to be able to get everyone in. That is super exciting and we can't wait to see everyone there.

Today's group is from the Capital of Texas, and this will be an especially exciting AYOP for them. They will not only be sending seven students, four of which have never been, but they will also be competing in a Team event for the first time on the National Level.


Twirl ATX, coached by Ashley Wood, Whitney Coons, and Deb Herbster, is a team based out of the Austin Area. While the studio is only completing its fourth season, this will be the third time Twirl ATX has sent students to compete at AYOP. All seven twirlers will be competing in individual events, but the members of Team Spark are most excited about putting their Beginner Junior Dance Twirl Team out on the National floor with their "Pretty Little Liars" routine.
