RIALTO TWIRLERS

In a swirl of pom poms, twirling batons, sparkle and feathers, RIALTO TWIRLERS captures a secret moment of unity and beauty as five girls rehearse their routine for the final time before a national majorette competition. Not as acrobatic as their American cheer leader compatriots or as military as their marching bands founders, The Rialto Twirlers are a creative fusion of hard graft, skill and energy that is associated with our pluralistic age in which anything is possible.

This observational documentary short film incorporates their passion for performing whilst capturing a subculture whose beginnings evoke a sense of nostalgia and a forgotten skill - baton twirling.
