How to do the 'arm wave' - dance tutorial

in #dance7 years ago (edited)


Hey Steemians!

Here is my first dance tutorial. This is one of my favourite dance moves of all time and I can't wait to share it with you. Here is how to do the 'arm wave'.

The arm wave consists of 12 small isolations which I call the 'foundations'.

Here they are: 

Number 1: Start with your right arm horizontally out to the side at a 90 degree angle.

Number 2: Curl the fingers towards the palm of your hand.

Number 3: Then, push the knuckles up to the ceiling - creating a triangle shape with the hand.

Number 4: Next, point your wrist downwards.

Number 5: This is the tricky one! Push the elbow up to the ceiling and keep your hand flat out to the side.

Number 6: Push your right shoulder up to meet your right ear.

Number 7: Then, swap shoulders by pushing the left shoulder up to your left ear and the right shoulder is now relaxed.

Number 8: Now on the other arm - push your left elbow up to the ceiling and keep the hand flat out to the side.

Number 9: Point your left wrist downwards.

Number 10: Push the knuckles of your left hand up to the ceiling - creating a triangle shape with the hand.

Number 11: Extend the fingers, but keep the fingers near the palm of your hand.

Number 12: Lastly, extend the fingers out straight to the side. 

Hooray! You've now accomplished the foundations - which once linked all together will create the waving motion.

Here is a little video of what it should look like once you link all the isolations above together (in slow motion):

Try out the above foundations and link them together, put on your favourite tune & start waving! Have fun with it!

Lastly, here is a little clip of me freestyling using arm & body waving techniques:

Hope you enjoy trying out this dance move!
