Hands Above Head Movements in Advanced Flamenco Dancing

"Hi! Thank you for visiting Expertvillage.com. My name is Yvette Parrish. Remember what we did, we had palms towards each other and then we led with the middle finger right? Well when your arms are up in the flamenco dance. If you notice right here my left arm is not very close to my body. Imagine, if somebody were dancing with you. You have to give them space, if you are dancing with somebody. You are not going to be dancing with someone like this and like this, look what little area that I am in, it doesn’t look very graceful. So, wide… imagine somebody is dancing with you, because may be somebody will dance with you and arm up. Remember we led with that middle finger, when we practiced here and now we are in this position and we are doing same thing. We are leading with the middle finger and out, leading with the middle finger and out, middle finger and out, middle finger and out. You can bring your left arm up, we are in this position, which is the same position we where here practicing. Now we just appear, start with your middle finger, out, middle finger, out, middle finger, out, middle finger, out. You can come down like this, come up and come down this way. Whenever you are bringing your arms down, its always nice, so come down pretty and come down pretty. Okay, so we are in this position you just putting your arms down. You are like this, nice and nice. Everything is ladylike and everything is very proper. We are not just bringing our arms down. Remember you are dancing with somebody, chin is up, chest out, bottom kind of in, but my bottom always looks out, but it is in. Bend your knees just a little bit, middle finger out, middle finger out, that is towards your audience. If you are turning this way middle finger out, middle finger out. It is every important that you work on your arms."
