Meet the Only Twirlers Social Squad 🩷

The Only Twirlers Social Squad is officially here! 🩷 This talented group of twirlers will be helping us create content, share their experiences and bring even more of the baton twirling community to your feeds throughout the season. From high school competitors to college twirlers, they represent different teams, organizations and corners of the country—but they all share a love for twirling and a passion for connecting our sport. We can’t wait for you to see what they create, but first, it’s time to meet the newest members of the Only Twirlers Social Squad!

Meet Gabi Lang 💕

Meet Gabi Lang, a senior at Knoch High School in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania! Gabi started twirling in seventh grade and currently competes with Twirl Legacy Team through NBTA. She’s also entering her third year of student teaching at her home studio and hopes to continue her twirling journey at the collegiate level after graduation.

Gabi is especially excited to join the Only Twirlers Social Squad to meet new people, make friends and connect with twirlers from across the community. Her favorite Only Twirlers essential is Boom No Drop Chalk—which may need to be packed right alongside her competition-day Alani!

Speaking of competition days, Gabi’s go-to snack is Sour Cream & Onion Pringles, but her favorite tradition is stopping at Starbucks with her mom on the way to every competition. It gives them a chance to catch up and talk about the day ahead before the competition craziness begins. We’re so excited to have Gabi on the squad this season! 🩷

Meet Hayden Taylor 💕

Next up is Hayden Taylor, a senior at Cambridge Springs High School in Pennsylvania! Hayden has been twirling for 12 years and competes with Captivators Baton Corp. through NBTA. Looking ahead, she hopes to become a feature twirler at a college close to home and eventually become a coach!

As a second year member of the Social Squad, Hayden is especially excited to create TikToks during football season and help spread her love for the twirling community. Her Only Twirlers favorites are our crewnecks and, of course, Boom No Drop Chalk.

That chalk is also one of her competition-day essentials, especially when the nerves—and sweaty hands—kick in! Add some Nerds Gummy Clusters and she’s ready to go. Before every performance, Hayden and her teammates pinky promise one another for good luck. We LOVE a team tradition! 🥹

Meet Aubrey Rozenboom 💕

Say hello to Aubrey Rozenboom, a junior at Pella Community High School in Iowa! Aubrey has been twirling for 11 years and currently works with a private coach while also twirling with the Pella Marching Dutch. She competes through NBTA and has some big goals for her twirling future: becoming a collegiate twirler AND eventually owning her own baton studio!

Aubrey is ready to bring her creativity to the Social Squad and is especially excited about making twirling TikToks. Her favorite Only Twirlers merch is the All Catch, No Drop crewneck.

Her competition-day lineup includes Mini Swedish Fish, a hand towel and, perhaps most importantly, a perfectly stocked “snackle box” for the trip and competition. And once competition is over? A shopping trip is always a good way to celebrate!

Meet Emma Diaz 💕

From sunny Florida, meet Emma Diaz, a senior at Somerset Academy High School at Chapel Trail! Emma started twirling at just four years old and has now been in the sport for about 14 years. She twirls with the Florida Superstars through NBTA and hopes to continue twirling in college. With FSU, UF and USF on her college list, Emma wants to push herself to audition wherever the opportunity arises—because she never wants to wonder what could have happened if she hadn't tried.

Emma is excited to create more content through the Social Squad and show the younger twirlers on her team just how amazing the baton twirling community can be. Her favorite Only Twirlers item is the Boom No Drop sweat towel, which comes in handy during those hot Florida practices and competitions!

On competition day, you’ll likely find Emma with Sour Cream & Onion Pringles and her headphones nearby. Music helps calm her nerves on the way to and from competitions, while a good-luck kiss from her coach before performing is one team tradition she can always count on. 🩷

Meet Nora Howard 💕

Meet Nora Howard, a junior at Mehlville High School in Missouri! Nora has been twirling for eight years with St. Louis Performance Academy and competes in both NBTA and USTA. Her future goals include twirling in college and potentially even qualifying for Worlds!

Nora is most excited about meeting new people and making connections with twirlers through the Social Squad. Her favorite Only Twirlers merch is our sports bras because they’re comfy and perfect for practice.

Her favorite competition snack is Goldfish, while her number one competition-day essential is actually her mom, who still makes sure she gets to her lanes on time! Nora also carries a very special good-luck charm: the sweat towel she had at her first Worlds. 🥹

Meet Abigail Dukes 💕

Say hello to Abigail Dukes, a senior at Waccamaw High School in South Carolina! Abigail has been twirling for 12 years and competes with Palmetto Twirlers through NBTA. She plans to continue competing in college while bringing her talents to the collegiate field.

Abigail is especially excited to experience marketing and social media from a different perspective while creating content for the twirling community. When it comes to Only Twirlers merch, she loves a good sweatshirt, but her 2026 AYOP sweatshirt takes the top spot!

Nerds Gummy Clusters keep her going through long competition days, while her sports earbuds and towel are two essentials she likes to keep nearby. Abigail also has a delicious competition tradition: eating at a steak restaurant either the day before or right after a competition. We fully support the post-competition meal! 😂

Meet Aubrey Nicholson 💕

Welcome back Aubrey Nicholson, a student at Middle Tennessee State University! Originally from Alabama and now twirling in Tennessee, Aubrey has been in the sport for 10 years and twirls with KKT Allstarz and the MTSU Raiderette line through AAU.

Aubrey is especially excited to continue the TikTok opportunities that come with being on the Social Squad. Her favorite Only Twirlers merch? Our tank tops!

Her competition fuel of choice is Nerds Gummy Clusters, but Aubrey says her true number one competition essential is her mom, who keeps her encouraged, organized and ready throughout the day. Before her group takes the floor for their first performance, they also pray together—a meaningful tradition she gets to share with her teammates.

Meet Jocelyn Foran 💕

Next up is Jocelyn Foran, a junior at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florida! Jocelyn has been twirling for 10 years with the Florida Superstars and competes through NBTA. She plans to continue competing at the advanced level, twirl collegiately and make even more baton friends from around the country along the way.

Jocelyn can’t wait to use the Social Squad to share her passion for twirling with the baton community. Her favorite Only Twirlers item is the Boom No Drop sweat towel.

For competition day, Jocelyn keeps Chex Mix nearby and brings along a very important lucky gator plushie. But no competition morning is complete without one more stop: Dunkin for a bagel on the way!

Meet Brooklynn Sedlock 💕

Say hello to Brooklynn Sedlock, a senior at Indianola High School in Iowa! Brooklynn has been twirling for 14 years and competes through both NBTA and AAU. For her next chapter, she dreams of finding a college or university where she can continue twirling while pursuing a strong pre-med program.

Brooklynn will be creating content for both TikTok and Instagram and is most excited about making new connections with twirlers while representing a brand she loves. Her favorite Only Twirlers piece is the OT Crewneck.

Competition day comes with quite the routine for Brooklyn! Her snacks of choice are Dot’s Original Pretzels and string cheese, and she always starts the day with a BUBBL'R. She also brings a personalized blanket she got at her first Nationals, listens to fast-paced music while warming up and gives her thighs a little smack before performing. Whatever gets you ready for those lanes! 😂

Meet Sanai Creavalle 💕

Last but certainly not least, meet Sanai Creavalle, a senior at West Broward High School in South Florida! Sanai has been twirling for 11 years with the Florida Superstars through NBTA. As she looks toward college, she’s excited to explore Florida's collegiate twirling opportunities and would love to become a Florida State or University of Central Florida majorette!

Sanai is excited to represent Only Twirlers while helping showcase what baton twirling is all about. Her favorite Only Twirlers item is the All Catch, No Drop crewneck, which she even wears before competitions for good luck.

Her mom packs apples for competition days to give her a quick snack when she’s rushing between events, while extra tights are an absolute MUST—because somehow they always seem to rip at the worst possible moment! Before competing, Sanai also warms up her solos alongside her teammates, which helps calm her nerves while spending time with some of her best friends.

Meet Marissa Pierce 🎙️💕

If you’ve listened to Talking with Twirlebrities, you already know this member of the Only Twirlers team! Marissa Pierce is the longtime host and editor behind the podcast and is back for another season of conversations with some of the biggest names and personalities in the twirling world.

A former Michigan State University Feature Twirler, Marissa spent 19 years in the sport and was a member of Wheaton Dance/Twirl Teams, competing across NBTA, USTA and TU. Today, she has traded competing for coaching and judging and plans to continue teaching and giving back to the sport throughout this next chapter of her twirling career.

Marissa says continuing to host the shows that have become so special to her is what she’s most excited about this season. When she’s not behind the microphone, you’ll find her judging with a stopwatch nearby—and she still carries a lucky ladybug in her purse that her grandma gave her when she was a young twirler. We’re so excited to have Marissa back behind the mic for another season of Talking with Twirlebrities! 🎙️🩷

We can’t wait for you to get to know this group even better throughout the season. Welcome to the Only Twirlers Social Squad! 🩷✨
