Sean here. With four joints, the arm has remarkable mobility. A man who is more than dimly aware of any other dancers on the floor may take advantage of that mobility to adjust the position of his arm to the conditions presented by those other dancers. Since the conditions are likely to change from moment to moment, more than one adjustment per tanda is permitted. However, gratuitous adjustments or marking the tempo with that arm are discouraged, as these can result in snarky comments from the peanut gallery. There are those who insist that there is a "most correct" way to hold that arm. To those dancers, this may be a revalation: Even when performing on an seemingly empty floor, there is another dancer for whom he might adjust his "most correct" arm position. Bonus tandas to any man who can guess who she might be. Sean (Rogue arm adjuster)
