Welcome to Applause of Bel Air!
This site will be used to keep members updated on a variety of subjects, from practice and contest information, to upcoming fundraisers and other activities.
If you are not currently a member of Applause, this is the place to find out about our baton twirling classes and teams. We invite you to visit the "About Us" section to see what we have to offer. Applause is the premier baton twirling team in the Bel Air and Harford County area. We draw twirlers from all around the Baltimore, Maryland region, and from as far away as Pennsylvania. Applause has produced more State, Regional, and National champions than any other area group. In addition to our competition program, we offer recreation classes for children who want to participate in a fun activity without the pressure to compete. Our affiliation with Bel Air Parks and Rec allows us to offer the finest baton instruction at a fraction of the cost of private groups.
We hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful!
