Belly Dance Every Day - Snake Arms
Let’s take a break from the ribs for now and work on the arms.
Snake arms actually start in the shoulders and move to the fingers. It is easiest to start with one arm. Hold your arm out to the side (elbow should be relaxed) and roll your shoulder to the front, up, back and down. As you are doing this, let the movement travel down your arm towards your fingers. You should get a wave-like movement traveling from your shoulder to your elbow to your fingers. Try this several times and then repeat with the other arm.
Once you are comfortable doing this movement one arm at a time, try it with both. The secret to doing both arms is to start with one and then follow with the other. When one shoulder is up, the other should be down; when one is back, the other should be front; and so on.
Remember, if you keep your arms from tensing up, the movement will flow easier, so stop every once in a while and relax.
