Dance: Hands and Arms - Flamenco
This will be a live progressive gesture session focusing on close ups of hands and arms.
The arm movements I demonstrate/pose will be Flamenco in style as that is the dance form I am most familiar with. ( My mother and mother's family are from Rota, Spain. I'm second generation Spanish since my mother emigrated from Spain as a child.)
To get you inspired and if you wish to practice these yourself & a little info:
