Layout
Doing a layout is really fun once you get the hang of it. To do this move you have to know how to do a double snake roll. First, you hold the baton off-center in your right hand. Then, you let the baton roll over your hand but, not all the way. You then bring your arm in so the baton will go over your elbow (like doing the second part of a double snake roll). Then, when the baton is about to go over your elbow all the way and it is at a slant, you bring your arm up and out to your side (like you are presenting something). Make sure your arm goes on the outside of the baton and not the inside. Then, the baton will slide down into your hand that is facing up so you can catch it.

Waist/Ankle Roll
To do a waist or ankle roll you need to know how to do a lasso neck roll to be able to understand exactly how to do a waist or ankle roll.
For a waist roll you start holding the baton in your right hand at the very end (it is easier to hold the baton at the smaller end). Then, you would want to do a lasso before you start the waist roll to get momentum going. After you do your lasso, you would then swing your right arm with the baton to your left side and let go as soon as your baton hits your left side so the baton will go around the back of your waist. Once your baton goes around your waist, you catch it in your right hand. It helps in this move if you move your hips with the baton.
For an ankle roll you do almost the same as you would do for a waist roll. Instead of rolling the baton around your ankles you roll the baton around the back of your knee. First, you do a lasso into the move. Then, you bend down as far as you can to reach the back of your knee and make sure they are touching each other side by side. You then let your right hand ,with the baton, swing it to the left side of both your knees and let go quickly. Once the baton goes around you catch it with your right hand.
Both of these moves have to be done fairly quick or you probably won't catch the baton, and make sure you catch the baton with your right hand.
