Welcome to Balloon Twisting and Modeling Class. In this class you will learn to go from basic balloon animals to amazing balloon animals. This is the 101 class for students who are new to balloon twisting or are just getting started. Each week we will add more balloons to your list. You should take a picture so you can remember how to do it. We also recommend creating a board as you go along, add the balloons to your list as you learn them. The goal of this class is that students can begin to entertain friends, family, and even start working low key events. If they stick with it for long enough by the end of the year they will be working on very complicated pieces. We will learn the basics for you to enjoy a new hobby or the basics you'll need to go pro.

This is what I do, everyday, for a living. I have expanded my business by adding decor to my skillset. Twisting requires you to have parties constantly or restaurant work. Nicole was just part of a team who won 1st place in a balloon competition in DC.
