Vertical Finger Twirls

To do vertical finger twirls you must be able to do a simple finger twirl by holding the baton at the center. Then, you move the baton over your first finger so it is between your first finger and your middle finger. Then, you move your baton over your middle finger so it is between your middle finger and your next finger, and then you just send it back.

Doing vertical finger twirls is quite easy if you already know how to to the finger twirls. First, you move the baton through your first two fingers, and while doing that you should be in an almost lunge facing to your right, with the baton next to your right side, and you left hand should be straight in front of you, to the right. Then, you move to the front and move the baton back to your first finger. You then move the baton to your last two fingers while moving toward your left side and doing pretty much the same thing as you did on your right side. Then, you make the baton do a C shape and bring it to the front again and move your baton back to your first finger.

This trick is really pretty if it is done fast, but it should be done slow at first so you can perfect it.
