Jennifer Marcus is a world champion baton twirler, an internationally-recognized coach/choreographer and a former Cirque Du Soleil performer. She began twirling at 3 years old and quickly fell in love with twirling, dance and gymnastics and loved how they could all be incorporated together.
Jennifer was a member of Team USA for 19 years and won two world championships and 12 International Cup gold medals. Jennifer also became the winningest athlete of all time for the United States Twirling Association winning 43 Grand National Championships, including 19 three-baton titles where she was undefeated from 1997-2015. Shortly after retiring from competition, she received a call from Cirque Du Soleil offering her a dream job, a twirling act with their big top touring show, Volta. She went on to perform in more than 550 shows and tour through North America until February 2019. Jennifer's passion is inspiring youth and sharing her sport through teaching and performing.
Jennifer attended Florida State University where she received her undergraduate degree in Public Relations and Journalism and a master's degree in Sports Management. She was the feature twirler for the FSU Marching Chiefs, performed for the NBA's Orlando Magic and has traveled to more than 15 countries performing and teaching clinics.
