Spiral arrangement of human voluntary musculature is not limited to the torso and neck, but it also continues into the limbs. In this article, we will explore how spirals in the arms help us achieve a stable, yet flexible dance hold.
The spiral arrangement of our musculature gives us the opportunity for a continuous, smooth movement. The opposing spirals give us the stability and support needed to perform many tasks, from walking to complicated dance choreography.
In order to better understand this interplay between different body parts, I will introduce the concept of primary and secondary curves, and demonstrate how viewing the movement through this lens can improve not only posture, but also give dancing power, fluidity, and control.
