Latin Arm Technique & Styling Improvement Month - September 2026

Have you ever thought…

“My arms need to be cleaner.”
“They need to be sharper.”
“They just don’t look natural.”
“I need to coordinate them better with my body.”

But here’s the problem:

A lot of dancers don’t know what they don’t know.

You might be practicing your arms—but are you actually focusing on what you need to reach your next level?

Do you know your basic arm positions?
What about your hands?

And then, there's the coordination. It's not arbitrary!

Which foot you're standing on affects where your arms go.

There is a system for how your arms coordinate with your footwork, hips, back and body movement. 

First learn to control your coordination... That’s your foundation.

Then we get into variations, dynamics and expressiveness.

There’s a progression to learning all of this. 

This progression is what so many dancers are missing.

It’s not that you need to “practice your arms more.”

You need the right things to practice, in the right order.

That's why I've made Arm Styling & Technique our September training focus inside Hips + Heels.

We're breaking arm styling down progressively—from the foundations all the way to creating arms that feel natural, expressive and beautifully connected to your dancing.

For now, ask yourself: Do I actually know what my arms need to work on next? 

Inside Hips + Heels, you get an actual Progression Plan, so there's no more second-guessing!
