When I raise my arm at the entrance to my favorite café to push open the door, I do not usually try to do this; however, when I raise my arm in the Black Swan pas de deux from Swan Lake, in order to push away (yet tantalize) Prince Siegfried, I give it my all and try my hardest. Of course, this might not be a case of trying to raise my arm; and it certainly doesn’t involve trying to exert as much muscular force as possible. However, in my case, at least, it involves trying my hardest to impart an idea, to create an aesthetically rich movement, and to repel yet tantalize at the same time.
