15 Arms Challenge

COURSE: awesome-arms

FOCUS: This lesson is an arms challenge to practice all upper body skills learned in the course by dancing a whole song without moving your feet, focusing on improvisation and connection.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Stand with feet stuck in place and shift weight subtly while dancing.
• Place hands on your body or use spotlighting techniques.
• Create and play with set shapes using your arms.
• Experiment with different resistances like pushing and pulling the air.
• Incorporate shoulder variations and hand movements as a finale.
• Imagine energy starting from the center of your rib cage and flowing out through fingertips.

REMEMBER:

• Focus on connecting all upper body movements for fluid energy flow.
• Use musicality and emotion to add a beautiful layer to your dance.
• This challenge pushes arm skills by isolating the lower body for practice.
• Think of it as a revision exercise to reinforce course concepts.
• Keep everything connected from the core to the fingertips.
• Improvise freely and have fun while practicing.
