## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on integrating arm movements into the dance, exploring how to connect them from the shoulders to the hands and use them to highlight or protect body movements.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Connect shoulders to the ribcage to initiate arm movement.
- Use elbows to let movement travel to the hands.
- Expand arms to frame and highlight chest rotation.
- Hug yourself to protect feelings during rotation.
- Let arms land on the body for intimate expression.
- Travel one arm while the other finds a spot on the body.

##REMEMBER
- Connect all movement from the feet through the body to the arms.
- Use energy from the ground to move the arms.
- Movement is a way to express oneself through dance.
- Keep movements relaxed and intimate to match the music.
- Explore different arm gestures to complement body movements.
- Touching your own body is acceptable and can enhance expression.
