Our Philosophy
Every child needs and deserves to have dreams. Some may dream of playing in the NFL, others may want to dance on Broadway. Maybe they want to be a teacher or a doctor. We cannot always help them achieve those goals specifically, but we can provide them with an atmosphere where we actively focus on goal setting, attention to detail, self-motivation, independence, confidence, sportsmanship, and personality - among many other things.
Our studio is an atmosphere where we challenge twirlers' motor skills, coordination, and ability to work as a team. The ShowTwirlers studio is a place where dedication meets success. We treat each individual uniquely, and allow him or her to set their path for baton twirling and create their own personal aspirations.

Our History
The ShowTwirlers started in 1998 by Pam (O’fiesh) Maierhofer. Pam began teaching baton right out of college when her Dad, Charlie O’fiesh, built her first baton studio. She called the group “Pam’s Chargers” – because she was driving a Dodge Charger at the time!
Pam fell in love with teaching baton and has been doing it ever since. Baton has seen her through a move to New Hampshire, where she owned “Ameri-Kids” baton group and finally, a return back to Pennsylvania where she began “The ShowTwirlers.” The studio location may change, the name may change, but one thing has remained constant: the passion for teaching and encouraging young aspiring baton twirlers.
