Dance Exercise for the Arms and Hands

This video introduces you an arm and hand exercise that I learned many years ago from the legendary Betty Jones, founding member of the José Limón Dance Company, at American Dance Festival. I have altered it over the years but the basic movements of the exercise remain the same. Do this as a part of your dance practice and you will gain awareness of the upper extremities and the many connection points between the arms, hands, shoulders, chest and back.
