6 Shapes

COURSE: awesome-arms

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on creating and dancing with three distinct arm shapes, using the arm shape as the primary inspiration for movement choices.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Keep elbows lifted and arms engaged to maintain energy in the hallelujah shape.
• Allow the arm shape to move slightly with the momentum of the dance without becoming floppy.
• Experiment with hand styling, such as laying hands flat or making a fist, to personalize the diamond shape.

REMEMBER:

• The shape of the arms should take precedence and inspire the rest of your dancing.
• Maintain a solid arm shape while allowing it to adapt to movement momentum.
• Use the arm shapes to explore different movement qualities, such as power or asymmetry.
