2 Follow The Flow

COURSE: awesome-arms

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on letting arms flow naturally with body movement, using walking as an example to encourage relaxed, improvised arm swings in dance.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Imagine a small air bubble in your armpits to keep arms loose and prevent them from being trapped against the body.
• Let arms swing in opposition to leg movements, similar to natural walking.
• Ensure arms move from the center of the body, maintaining relaxation from shoulders down.
• Improvise with known moves while allowing arms to follow the natural flow of movement.

REMEMBER:

• Arms should react naturally to body movement, just as they do when walking.
• Keep arms relaxed and hanging loosely to allow free movement with the body.
• Focus on the center of the body to integrate arm and body dancing.
