  • Sequence of movement

    The hand is formed into a flat hand with fingers spread apart. This hand is now placed on the left shoulder blade of the person being addressed and the hand is immediately pulled back slightly, with the fingertips continuing to maintain contact with the back. Thus, the fingertips now move from their point of origin towards each other in a star shape. When the fingertips touch each other, the hand is taken away from the back.

    Shape of hand

    Flache, ausgestreckte Hand. Die Finger locker abgespreizt.
    Daumen ausgestreckt, die anderen Finger liegen locker auf.
