Level 4 is where we actually learn the Change Forward movement but with both arms always in the same plane. (in Level 5 we learn the same movement but with both arms in different planes.)
So what is a "Change Forward" movement? It's actually a Forward Movement and a Change Plane Movement done at the same time. So like a Forward Movement it takes your from one position to the next position "Forward" but at the same time it takes you to that point in the other plane. So from Position A we Change Forward to Position 2 (which is the same a Position B but it is in the Horizontal plane as opposed to the vertical).

About the dance of shiva and me
When I first read about Andrey Lappa's "Dance of Shiva" I was intrigued by the notion of spiral movements of the arms used to generate the flow of energy and bestow the practitioner with special powers.
I have yet to develop special powers but the Dance of Shiva has helped me to become smarter, improve my mind-body coordination and help me see connections. Perhaps those in and of themselves are "special powers," special enough for me to want to share this art.

Arm Positions
- The Most Basic Arm Positions (how basic can you get-one arm only)
- All Positions (there's 64 in all...so that means stacks of photos)
- Both Arms Horizontal (this and the next three pages only have sixteen positions each)
- Both Arms Vertical
- Left Horizontal, Right Vertical
- Left Vertical, Right Horizontal
The basic movements with one arm only.
- When you've got these, you then add the two arms together and open yourself up to a world of possibility
- Forward Movements
- Backward Movements
- Transquarter Movements
- Change Plane Movements
- Change Plane Forward Movements
- Change Plane Backward Movements
- Change Plane Transquarter Movements
- Special Movement-Mirror Reflection
