Place your dominant hand between your body and your non-dominant hand, also with the palm facing inward. Move your dominant hand up and over the non-dominant hand in a forward arc, ending further away from your body.

Yes, you should always move your dominant hand. Your non-dominant hand serves as the stationary base or reference point. If you are right-handed, your right hand will arc over your left hand. This keeps your signing clear and consistent for the person watching.
The size of the arc can change depending on what you mean! A standard, moderate arc is used for normal conversation. If you want to emphasize going way beyond something, you can make the arc larger and extend your hand much further out to show greater distance.
