@MrWilkinsoni It's called arm/hand styling... watch the pros (e.g. these dancers) and you'll notice what you call "arm waving" - it's part of the emotion of the dance.
@MrWilkinsoni: This movement is called the "hockey stick" due to the position of the woman's right arm before the turn, and the "nice arm waving" is use to emphasize the movement and the dance. These two dancers, Slavik and Karina, were three times US National Professional Latin Champions. They also own several successful dance studios in NY. Karina is also one of the pros on DWTS. They know how to dance.

nice arm waving, but does tend to detract from the footwork.
