"Hi! thank you for visiting Expertvillage.com. My name is Yvette Parrish. You can also practice this way in front of a mirror and try to get your wave down with your hand. I also told my students you will always be stronger if you are right-handed versus left hands, so don’t be discouraged if your left hand looks a little crazy coming down. It is your left hand, you are not using it as much. So your right hand and then my crazy left hand, and then right hand and also to loosen up your arms practice a little bit of snake arms and this all just helps your flexibility and looking fluid while you are dancing and moving, everything is very ladylike, everything is very beautiful. Flamenco has got a lot of ballet in it. So it is very graceful. So if you can practice a little bit of snake arms, you can practice elbow out and just bring your arm up. Elbow out and bring your arm up, elbow out and up, elbow out and up and then eventually looks like a little snake arm. It is just for warm up, you are not going to be coming out, dancing like this on stage, but this is going to help you, your arms feel a little bit more flexible and reach and reach and reach, keep your arm up. Everything is very tall, with flamenco so a lot of stretching is every important, that way you can get as much stretch and don’t want to hurt your lower back. So, once again your knees are bent when you are doing footwork. Your knees are bent. You do not want to be too straight legged and bending your back like this and you are going to hurt yourself and you are not going to be happy."
