## 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.
