Body Mechanics Polish – Key Points

Focus AreaPolish Notes
Arms & HandsAdd natural arm swing for balance; keep hands relaxed, not expressive.
HeadSlight follow-through from the torso; stable in the air, subtle response on landing.
Torso & SpineStretch on take-off, light compression and recovery on landing.
Overlap & OffsetOffset arms and head 1–3 frames behind the root.
SpacingMaintain strong take-off, soft peak, and weighted landing timing.
CleanupRemove unnecessary keys and eliminate jitter or noise.
