Form 19: Yun Shou (Wave Hands like Clouds)

As the name implies, two arms turn around and circle up and down, left and right as the waist turns, like both clouds winding around and flying into the sky.

Detailed Explanation
Take the left side as an example.
Lower limbs: Move the left foot leftward with tiptoes landing first: transfer weight leftward, take the right foot back to the inside of the left foot, and bend knees to a half squat.
Upper limbs: Circle both palms leftward, with the left one across the face and the right one across the abdomen,  both of them facing inward ; while transferring weight leftward and taking the right foot back to near the left one, turn two palms gradually at the left of the body, with the left one facing outward, the right one towards the inside of the left elbow, facing inward , eyes looking at the left palm.

Key Point
Keep the head uplifted, the waist upright, the shoulders sunk, the elbows down, the waist relaxed and buttocks down, with feet standing distinctively emptily and firmly; circle arms and palms with waist as pivot and the upper and lower parts of the body moving in harmony.
