Amadeus Twirl team


The Amadeus Twirl Team was formed in 1997 with only 4 members by Carla Bull. We have since developed into a strong team of girls and boys. The team is currently taught by Jo Malaure who has competed internationally and passed a number of teacher's exams.

We compete in the IBTA and BBTSA.

With sheer hard work and determination we have been awarded the coveted High Points Shield at several IBTA Competitions and the prestigious IBTA National Championship's Top Team. Individuals of the Amadeus Twirl Team have achieved IBTA Twirl Champ, Dance Champ, Strut Champ, 2 Baton Champ and IBTA Top Twirler, as well as athletes progressing though the levels from Beginner to Advanced, along with BBTSA National Champion awards.

Amadeus is the home of many lively characters from age of 5 upwards, all wanting to Twirl. Additionally, we currently have two members who are part of a composite team being trained by reputable trainers, to be selected to represent England in international competitions.

We train on Mondays, Thursdays and some weekends, especially on the run up to competitions. We are based in the Fareham area in Hampshire and always welcome new members of any ability.

Ballyfermot Superjettes


Ballyfermot Superjettes was set up approximately 25 years ago. For most of these years, Michelle McKeever was the teacher and corp director. Unfortunately about seven years ago, Michelle moved house, and due to distance and location it made it too difficult for her to keep teaching.

Since then I have been teaching and running the group. We are continuously working to build up the corps taking on new members and we now have over 20 registered members.

Apart from our ten senior members who have been twirling with us for over 10 years, the rest of the group have been members of Ballyfermot Superjettes for only two years.
We train three times a week, with some extra training coming up to competitions. I encourage all the twirlers to attend as many seminars as possible to develop their knowledge and twirling skills. Some of the seniors have gone on to take teachers and judges exams and 4 of them teach their own corps in Ireland.

Diamond Twirlers


The Diamond Twirlers were formed in May 2006 when former twirlers of Rainbow Twirlers and other teams in Ireland joined together to form their own Corps. The team is coached by Elaine McGovern, who is not only a qualified IBTA Judge and Teacher with15 years teaching experience under her belt, but also the IBTA Irish Co-ordinator.

The Diamond Twirlers are training hard and look forward to competing together for the first time at the Irish Open Championships in 2006.

We train 3 days per week and members are aged between 4 and 34 years old. We are members of the IBTA and ABTI.

Fleet Falcons


Fleet Falcons were established in 1979, and have been twirling as members of the IBTA since 1981.
The Falcons train every Friday evening during term time between 6.30pm and 9.30pm in the Fleet area, although many members of the corps come from further afield. Additional training sessions are held as and when required.


Fleet Falcons are trained by four of the IBTA's teachers, Helen McLauchlan, Emily-Jayne Wilde, Sam Barker and Chrissi Hellewell, who have all been twirling and teaching within the association for many years. Helen, Emily-Jayne and Sam are also members of the IBTA judging panel.


The corps take part in some carnivals and fetes, but concentrate more on competition work and examinations. We encourage our members to take part in seminars organised by the IBTA to further their knowledge.
We strive to keep twirling fun and interesting, and to ensure that our members are continuously improving and learning new material.

Matrix Twirlers (formerly Liphook Bluebells)

Matrix twirlers, formerly known as the Liphook Bluebelles, have been around for more than twenty years and are still going strong!

The team was relaunched in January 2000, merging with a smaller corps and renaming themselves Matrix majorettes. More recently the team have not used the term majorette, and are known as Matrix twirlers.

The team consists of both boys and girls, and ages vary from just three years old to twenty eight years old.
The corps teacher is Rosie Malone and corps leader is Louise East. The corps most recent achievement is being awarded the IBTA most progressive corps 2006.

Phoenix Twirlstars

We have a dedicated team of 13 Twirlers aged from 8 years to 30 years. Phoenix Twirlstars have been established since 1992 and are loyal members of the IBTA.

Our aim is to promote Baton Twirling in a positive, fun, safe and open environment. Coached by Tabby Powell and Tracey Clark, with the assistance of Claire and Hayley, Phoenix have enjoyed many successes over the years at IBTA Run and Open competitions, with our most recent being winning 30 awards at the National Championships 2011 with Jo & Hayley becoming the current Basic Strut champs and Hayley Grant winning overall Top Twirler 2011 in the senior plus age group.

We take pride in our original approach to team routines and are always trying new and different music and choreography ideas. We train every Wednesday evening at The Grove, High Pitfold, Hindhead from 7.00 pm - 9.30 pm. For further information please contact Corps Director Claire Banfill- Tel no: 01420 489865.

St Martins Twirlers

St. Martin’s was set up in January 2004, by Anne O’ Connor & Toni Thompson. In the first class there was 14 kids who trained in a small room in St. Martin’s church for the first six months. After their first competition in October 2004 we moved to St. Martin’s school to a bigger hall. Since then the Corp has really grown and we now have about 30 girls aged between 4 & 15, who train twice per week.

Our greatest achievement so far was winning Most Progressive Corp in the Irish Open Championships in Oct 2005. The girls are really enthusiastic about baton twirling & are hoping to travel over to the U.K for Nationals Next Year.

Sussex Supremes

The Sussex Supremes, formally the Oakmeeds Majorettes were formed when the late Pam Allen set up the group for her daughters in 1978. Back in the late 70's and 80's we were a bit dated in our furry hats and polyester dresses but hey - we thought we looked good!

In 1985 we discovered there was more to this then marching in street parades, we changed our name and got a new image - lycra & sequins, and became members of the IBTA. We have now been competing with the IBTA for over 21 years!

Our members aged between 3 and 38 years old are all local girls from the mid-sussex area, with one member who commutes from Watford!

Most recently, we have been awarded a number of prestigious awards including the High Points Cup at the following competitions: IBTA 2004 winter champions, 2005 national champions, 2005 summer champions, 2006 winter champions, 2007 national Champions and 2007 Summer Champions!! Now also 11 individual Top Twirler awards too!! This is a result of the hard work and dedication of our members and their devoted teacher and judge, Dawn Cavanagh, who is also the IBTA Teachers Rep and coach of the Horsham Bluebells. Without Dawn, we would be lost!

The Sussex Supremes are members of both the IBTA and BBTSA and train on Saturdays at Oakmeeds School and Mondays at Chailey Heritage School.

After the sudden passing of our founder, Pam Allen, mother of Elaine, Sussex's Corps Director in 1996, we hosted a memorial event to give all proceeds to charity. This bi-annual competition has now topped over £10,000 for charitable causes thanks to all those who continue to support our event - you do yourselves credit………

Topaz Twirlers

The Topaz Twirlers were established in July 2001 when Caroline left the Aughrim Street Fantettes to start up Topaz Twirlers, who have been part of the IBTA since then.

We now have 30 twirlers (but continue to grow) with members aged between 4 and 16. We work hard to make twirling fun and exciting and to develop our twirlers to compete.

Topaz Twirlers train every Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday in Cobra, Dublin.
