You've got the steps... now it's time to use your arms! In week one, we will deep-dive in to how to use your arms to better balance and execute steps. You will learn how arm movements help you, and not hurt or hinder your movement quality. In week two, we will focus on how arms can enhance the look of steps we perform.
