Anastasiia Gubanova!! Just watch her Swan program. It's amazing to me that a junior has such control and feel with her arms and upper body momentum into and out of elements.

I agree with you, I enjoy Anastasia very much and I find her upper body movements more refined than even some senior ladies.

Patrick Chan, Daisuke Takahashi, Stephane Lambiel, Tatsuki Machida, Sasha Cohen, Lu Chen, Michelle Kwan, and Yu Na Kim are all skaters I admire for their use of arm movements and upper body expression.
Shoma and Marin are two younger skaters who have very elegant arm movements, too.

I have to go soon so I can't post examples but, for the Men......It's Patrick Chan. It has been Patrick for a decade now. Until he retires.....It's Patrick Chan!

Yuna Kim's arms are made of magic.
Also Oksana Baiul.

Cannot give you more than a thumb up, otherwise...
Yuna's arms at their best are, IMO, in "Homage to Korea"...but she really had incredible arms.

Adding his SP performance from 2013 TEB because I find his arm upper body expression sensational and very balanced with leg moves extensions... Just gorgeous!!!
