<p>COURSE: awesome-arms</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches forward shoulder rolls, focusing on subtle movements using back muscles to open and close shoulder blades, with variations for styling and body integration.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Think about dropping the shoulders down in front or moving shoulder blades away from each other to open them.</li>
<li>Use back muscles to pull shoulder blades together when closing them.</li>
<li>Add a circular motion: go up and over as you open, then down and around as you close.</li>
<li>Practice slowly in a mirror first before playing with music.</li>
<li>Allow the body to move forwards as the shoulder circles, creating a twisted alignment.</li>
<li>Try variations like doing both shoulders, one shoulder, or alternating shoulders.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Focus on engaging back muscles for a contained, subtle movement rather than rolling shoulders wildly.</li>
<li>Keep the movement central in the body to avoid a messy appearance.</li>
<li>This styling can add a funky attitude to walks or stationary poses.</li>
<li>Integrate body movement with shoulder styling for a more dynamic effect.</li>
<li>Experiment with different variations to see how much body involvement works best.</li>
<li>Use this technique to enhance posture and add cool styling to dance moves.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Widen the shoulder blades apart to drop the shoulders forwards.</li>
<li>Keep the movement small and sharp, avoiding large or curved chest motions.</li>
<li>Practice in front of a mirror or film yourself to check the action.</li>
<li>Maintain a long neck and keep shoulders down without hunching.</li>
<li>Use a straight line of energy forwards and back, not rotational like shoulder rolls.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Shoulder pops are a textural tool for adding sharp accents, not for continuous repetition.</li>
<li>Focus on shoulder isolation to prevent excessive chest movement.</li>
<li>The move is subtle and cheeky, best kept small for cool effects.</li>
<li>It can be done at any rhythm, often added at the end of moves.</li>
<li>Avoid making the shoulders too big or bringing them up to the ears.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the shoulder shimmy, focusing on generating movement from the center of the body rather than the shoulders, with practice for speed and rhythm.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Imagine a stick down the center of your body and rotate your ribcage around it.</li>
<li>Keep your hips in place and abs engaged while moving the ribcage.</li>
<li>Allow shoulders to move with the body but avoid letting them go wild or rise near your ears.</li>
<li>Practice the shimmy at different speeds, from slow to fast, to develop control.</li>
<li>Play with the energy and timing of the shimmy to match musical rhythms.</li>
<li>Keep the movement subtle and contained within the body for better technique.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The movement originates from a central, internal place, not from the shoulders.</li>
<li>Maintain a long neck and keep shoulders down to avoid tension.</li>
<li>The shimmy is a rotational action of the ribcage around an imaginary central axis.</li>
<li>Adjust sharpness and rhythm based on personal preference and music.</li>
<li>Focus on core engagement to support the shoulder movement.</li>
<li>Practice variations in speed to build proficiency and musicality.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Squeeze your shoulder blades together to identify the center point where arms should start.</li>
<li>Imagine an energy ball in the center of your body that flows through the arms and out through the fingers.</li>

<li>Think of energy flowing through the joints to create softer, curved arm shapes rather than trapped angles.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Arms start from the center of the body, not the shoulders, for better energy flow and connection.</li>
<li>Energy should flow from the center through the shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers into the universe.</li>
<li>This approach helps prevent awkward arm shapes and enhances overall dancing with full-body movement.</li>
<li>Focus on energy pathways to improve arm lines and avoid stiff or angular movements unless stylistically chosen.</li>

- Focus on energy pathways to improve arm lines and avoid stiff or angular movements unless stylistically chosen.

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Place hands in pockets to keep arms still and look cool, especially if unsure what to do with them.</li>
<li>Keep elbows up and maintain a line of energy across the chest when hands are on the chest to avoid a lazy appearance.</li>
<li>Use hands on thighs to draw attention to fancy footwork while keeping arms still.</li>
<li>Experiment with elbow direction (forwards, side, or back) and hand orientation (palm up or down) when hands are on the hips for varied styling.</li>
<li>Roll shoulders down and maintain posture when hands are on hips to avoid giving up on upper body energy.</li>
<li>Place hands on the butt with elbows back and shoulders back to create a nice shape in the back, adding walking styles for fun.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Arm placement should emphasize other body movements and shapes, not draw too much attention to the arms themselves.</li>
<li>Details like elbow position and hand orientation significantly impact the overall styling and shape of the arms.</li>
<li>Use arm placements as safe starting points if unsure, but vary them to avoid looking awkward throughout the dance.</li>
<li>Maintain energy and purpose in arm shapes, even when they are still, to enhance overall posture and movement.</li>
<li>Consider the context of the dance, such as highlighting footwork or hip moves, when choosing hand placements.</li>
<li>Experiment with different placements to find what feels good and suits your body and the dance style.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Place left hand in pocket and let right hand follow the basic step's flow.</li>
<li>Keep a slight air bubble in the armpit for a natural swing in the arm.</li>
<li>Maintain a lifted arm with energy running through to the fingers.</li>
<li>Use hand on hip with the opposite arm following movement momentum, especially for fishtails.</li>

</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Blues dance emphasizes asymmetrical shapes over symmetrical ones for its aesthetic.</li>
<li>Having different actions on each side of the body creates dynamic and broken lines.</li>
<li>Asymmetrical styling can highlight movements like fishtails and turns effectively.</li>
<li>Experiment with various arm placements to enhance shape and movement in improvisation.</li>

</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Spotlighting involves using hand movements to draw attention to specific body parts, enhancing visual impact in dance.</li>
<li>Ensure the spotlight follows the body part as it moves to maintain focus and avoid losing the highlighted area.</li>

<li>Incorporate resistance from the body's center, engaging chest, shoulders, back, and fingers.</li>
<li>Experiment with speed variations, such as fast punches or slow reaches, to alter movement feel.</li>
<li>Apply resistance to dance moves like fishtails or pushing and pulling to change body dynamics.</li>
<li>Improvise by calling out resistance levels (air, water, honey, cement) while dancing to music.</li>
<li>Try different songs to see how music influences resistance and speed choices.</li>

<li>Resistance is about muscle tone and energy, not just new arm positions.</li>
<li>Speed and resistance combine to create infinite movement possibilities and emotions.</li>
<li>Engage the whole body, from center to fingers, for effective resistance.</li>
<li>Simple motions can feel very different based on resistance and speed applied.</li>

<p>COURSE: awesome-arms</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on shoulder rolls as a subtle way to incorporate shoulders into dancing, emphasizing small, controlled movements using back muscles rather than lifting the shoulders.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Think about drawing the shoulder blades down the back to circle the shoulders down, not lifting them up.</li>
<li>Practice shoulder rolls with arms relaxed to let the shoulder do the dancing, allowing the hand to move naturally.</li>
<li>Place a hand on the hips and keep it still while rolling the shoulder to practice isolation.</li>
<li>Use a wall to isolate shoulder muscles by placing the elbow against it and rolling the shoulder without moving the elbow.</li>
<li>Alternate between dancing with the body and focusing on shoulder rolls to add variety and rhythm.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Shoulder rolls should be small and subtle, not big or exaggerated.</li>
<li>Engage the big muscles in the back to control the movement, avoiding lifting the shoulders.</li>
<li>Shoulder rolls can be done with both shoulders together, one shoulder, or alternating, and at any rhythm.</li>
<li>Use shoulder rolls when the body is still to make the shoulder the focus and avoid overwhelming the dance.</li>
<li>Practice isolation to prevent the whole arm from moving during shoulder rolls.</li>

- Use a wall to isolate shoulder muscles by placing the elbow against it and rolling the shoulder without moving the elbow.
- Alternate between dancing with the body and focusing on shoulder rolls to add variety and rhythm.
##REMEMBER
- Shoulder rolls should be small and subtle, not big or exaggerated.
- Engage the big muscles in the back to control the movement, avoiding lifting the shoulders.
- Shoulder rolls can be done with both shoulders together, one shoulder, or alternating, and at any rhythm.
- Use shoulder rolls when the body is still to make the shoulder the focus and avoid overwhelming the dance.
- Practice isolation to prevent the whole arm from moving during shoulder rolls.
