A majorette is a performer who combines baton twirling with dance movements, primarily associated with marching bands during parades. Majorettes may alternatively spin flags, fire batons, maces, or rifles. Some performers incorporate cartwheels and flips, while others may twirl multiple batons at once.[1]
