What To Do With Your Arms (Live)

In this fun and insightful live session, Anthony and Rose dive into a topic every dancer struggles with at some point: what do I do with my hands? More specifically, how to avoid awkward or distracting arm placement in partner dancing. Whether you're dancing socially, performing on stage, or competing, your arms matter—but they should serve the dance, not steal the spotlight. Anthony breaks down the differences between social, performance, and competitive dancing, explaining how each style has its own priorities when it comes to arms and styling. Rose adds follower-focused tips on adding feminine styling without disrupting connection, and both share when and how it’s appropriate to use arm styling for expression, versus when it gets in the way. The core principle? Arms should always be an extension of the body’s natural movement—not random, disconnected flourishes. Through visual demos, clear metaphors, and their usual banter, they explain how to make your arms look intentional, confident, and in harmony with your dancing. If you’ve ever felt awkward, unsure, or like your arms were just “there,” this class will give you a solid foundation, whether you're dancing socially or stepping into the spotlight. Read More
