re the way you have to move your arm and it's just very basic arm movement and also me you will go through I mean we have a time we discuss a little bit more energy and and the feeling into it so first of all I want to start with some exercises I took it from my dance course that's with Anna so I'll share it share with you some of them and for me our movement and beautiful arms and legs and dancing it's not all about the arms and I'm also more concentrated on the spine and the shoulder plane so

for me beautiful artists as well as it's a beautiful swag so for warmup we were going to start with the exercise and we will start with very simple exercise will move our both arms just open your elbows to the side and now squeeze back towards your body towards your ribcage they can open and close now we're not only going to move our arms side to side I want you to pay attention to my back so when you open up your elbows to the side and it's kind of stretching your spine now when you start to mo

ve your elbows towards your body I want to talk to eat your shoulder place on maximum and again stretch your spine squeeze stretch squeeze stretch squeeze so basically I have a main action in my spine and my arms has a reaction to my body movement and that's a very important topic for there just the arm and now when we have our arm action to the side very basic principle we have a gradual or we just do a loss will right now do it like small exercise by point so four points I want you to pay atte

ntion to so we're gonna start with the elbow try to move your elbow stretch it to the side not backwards not forwards keep it to the side now this is point number one number it's you start to have a scooping action with your wrists and move your arms three roll your shoulder plate as well as connect your left muscle in and this is number three and number four return bring your elbow back towards your body one more time elbow one to arm to the side three activate your light muscle and your should

er blade and now for green and back you can keep your legs apart and again elbow our shoulder blade in your spine activation bring your arm back again elbow to the side now make sure that your elbow and your arm is actually in front of your body it's not going back they already mentioned that but they just want you to pay attention when you exercise this move and to the side arm to the side straight shoulder blade and your left muscle activation and bring your elbow back great this is this struc

turing movement and then I'm afraid if you're gonna dance like that we're going to look like a robot and I don't like there's no reason likes to see just the structural movement I'm more about I like more initial way and major movement in the arm but that's your directions prints basic if you don't know how to hunt where to move your heart so those points you have to always pass through and the main point here is always some point number three activate your shoulder blades and your light muscle

because very often that often but some dancers moving them are totally they are not aware about the back and about it explained especially for the girls if you have a like low-cut in your dress that's very important action and finish line for your arm action so point number three is the main key for the beautiful arm arm action now when we have and we already know these four points and we know the structure I want you to pay attention to my direction in the environment when they start move my ar

m to the side with the elbow and with my side one arm is going straight to the side when he straightened when I scoop the head and they start to prove my arm into the straight position you see my arm is not the front of me I cannot have a movement back side and when I roll my shoulder blade and my lab now my arm is hook is facing the front so it's fully diagonal and then you can pull your elbow towards your body so I have a little bit more space to cover a little bit more space when they have a

bar action it's not just straight to the side only or forward you have a side back side forward alright that person and bring your elbow back to your body so I want you to cover a little bit more bigger space with the arm action one more time side back side for brain activity a lot muscle and bring now of course I think mania knows how to keep them fingers and hand position I just want to remind you and it's ok if you have a kind of like broken wrist it's fine but I prefer a little bit more exte

nsion so through my fingers of course for the latest is a little bit more open finger position and but I want you to not only push your wrist down because it's a little bit little broken but it's again it's all about the style it's ok to do I'd like to feel that my finger is all my fingers I'm stretching and reaching to the side to the side of the wall yes so I keep my wrist slightly Bend but the same time I have full feeling that I kind of reaching with my fingers away from my shoulder blade ac

tion and now from here try to start the movement from the pinky turn your pinky and all your five fingers and only then you can bring your elbow back to your body do not start right away with the elbow yes so first of all try to achieve an activity if you're in hand rotation and then bring your elbow back to your body yes one more time so we have elbow arm left hand and your I'll go back again one she 31 to finishing your back three I will turn I will turn so you can see my back and again we hav

e a site action arm finish in your spine I've to wait your hand and bring your elbow back again arm action spy hand elbow Ramos now based on this structure we can have a different feeling to it so it doesn't mean doesn't mean that you always have to be in maximum tone it's all about your current filling I can have the same arm movements who is the same structure who is the same shoulder finished but I can keep my fingers very relaxed and so so I that way I can just feel it more sensual and the m

ovement became very very soft and light I can as well I can keep my finger is maximum feel every single finger all every single muscle in my arm and in my body in my back and they can make it a little bit more kind of like heavy action also you can have a speed change you can bring your arm freaks out and now you can bring it back with the slow motion or you can move your arm to this side slowly and bring it back yes so all of our energy and depends on your current selling point and if you're fe

eling as well it's very important to breathe I mean that's a very common question when they have to breathe in a when I'm dancing or I have to pitch when I move my arms look up to always breathe it's always not so and only one suggestion and when you move your arm to the side I recommend you for now to put entire arm action to the side now when you have to wait your life muscle and your spine you can exhale and come in again inhale exhale out and in out and in so you constantly have to breathe t

hrough this through those actions and all you only what you can change its your energy now it's also important to talk to your chest as well when you move your arm and it depends what you want to show let's say for example if I move my arm out forward right I can have this type of movement when my spine is going constantly in the resistance away from my arm yes and then I can print for example my arm up or it's usually happens when you take a step back so you can look like you really deceased ye

s so your spine is going back your arm is moving forward and then you can move your arm up if for example you want to send your arm with your chest very often this actually we have urine movement forward you can do so too but then return again with this one so this point the center point of your spine upper spine and your chest is constantly also have to move and help with opposition so it's a very common exercise when you move your arms forward you have to read opposite yourself with your spine

back when your chest is moving forward it's naturally you will feel that it's very natural movement your arms want to go back and again you start with your spine but I'm just forward chest is forward arms naturally moving back so you but the key to this movement that your chest and your spine that's the action your arm is just a reaction and one more when we bring when we move it all arm up let's say I have a step back yes I'll bring my arm up and they just have a hand rotation whatever it can

be just any type of the part it can even stay in place yes so we move our arm up they finish a point of this arm action it's again it's your shoulder plane it's your left and it's your spine this is unfinished movement when we just move our arm we settle on this sheep spine doesn't work and you continue so always remember no matter when you where you move your arm upward to the side right now it's up finish and start the action we ease your spine in your shoulder blade and then continue the next

step so when we move our arm up we're also we as well activating our left and our spiny muscle so no matter what it is your comics wine is always active I want to see a lot of movement and action in your swing and I think that would be the last point for today sometimes it's bothering me so I want to want to discuss them for the cover the ladies it's not very common but I see some type of type of ones when we have our hand closer to our face yes if for example it can be in charge in rumba it ca

n be a possum and they want to just discuss this beautiful arm movement you see so the beginning they exit up from this line and actual life the beginning of this line don't touch Russian to start like right away from from the finish point from the line right away yes so sometimes for example tivity check or any step yeah till the girls is right way into life this is not complete movement so how you can improve this action trying to stretch your arm first of all and feel the sweet resistance lik

e somebody is pulling your fingers all the way down to the floor now from that stretch move your arm forward and still feel the street opposite your arm with your spine now with your wrist and your elbow first we'll bring it in and now again start with the chest move your chest and stretch your elbow slightly backward now in this position make sure that your hand is kind of lower lower than your elbow it's not this position yeah so not closing only our eye we have to stretch the line and always

slightly higher than the hand also of this hand we not well it depends it can be exposed action right we talked about the nice line and finished Pacific so here you do need to keep your arm behind your head your arm has to be slightly in front of your right eye because my right arms up and you have to keep all your five fingers open and through your chest you can increase this line if you strictly just for it at your elbow you pull back yes one more time so first beginning no matter if you even

do the check that it's faster to check you still have this momentum where you have to release and stretch your arm down bring your palm forward twist your wrist right into this line again straight your chest and move your elbow backward now from this position when we already in the life don't just drop your arm or moving full report and so many functions can be yes if you wanna release your arm again start with your elbow like you take off the jacket yes so stop elbow with your shoulder blades o

n maximum and give a nice finish in your wrist so this is more melting action after such a strong climb it's one more time stretch your arm down feel the resistance move your spine away from your heart strangest women arrive into the beautiful line and now from here melt through your elbow first down and your wrist one down with four ring twists stretch and release come lay you can use this action in the sliding doors and see if you want to style your side of doors differently yes so you can hav

e the same action and the same exit from this action to the next movement yeah so it's in I think it's important to talk about these type of lines which is maybe not very common but is it's popular in Latin dancing and so today my main point new topic it's an of course it's fun because for me the beautiful arm action it's again I want to see all activity and all result of this hard work in your spine not only device yes and again I try to explain to very PA the structure by points but it doesn't

mean that you have to dance like robots with that structure you know the directions and I'll just try to put the silicon tree and have a clear idea in your head how you wanna present this movement or is it soft or it's more muscular or it's faster it's slow but it's important to know the structure yes you can practice use it as a warm-up those two four I'm sorry is four points elbow to the side arm to the side straight without activating your bar only your shoulder blade on your left muscle all

the way down controller down after that turn your hand bring your elbow in and the first incarnation with both hands you also can practice later but as long as you know the right structure it will be more clear for you to understand principles and a minor stuff as well when you move your arm up if something you wish to know your arm up through the palm up just try to work our movement from the side yes but no matter how you move your arm up you always have to finish with your shoulder not only

with the heat yes I've to weight your spine so this is the action lower part is reaction after spy sheep or spine she and your tuition even more your spine then release yes and the last figure within today the last arm action instead pullback yes with the open hand I will remind you those points the movement through the maximum stretch and three systems from your back and your art now twist your head and your thank you everybody for watching and please remember if you want more details and all a
