The Wave

The Arm Wave

1. The arm wave begins in your hand, as if you stuck your hand in a buck of tennis balls.

1. Put your feet together and cross your arms
2. Pivot on your left foot and cross your right foot over the left while swinging your arms open. This is count one.
3. Return to the first position. This is count two.
4. Do the same movements to the opposite side.
