We consider Hamiltonian formulation of a dynamical system forced to move on a submanifold . If for some reasons we are interested in knowing the dynamics of all original variables , the most economical would be a Hamiltonian formulation on the intermediate phase-space submanifold spanned by reducible variables and an irreducible set of momenta , . We describe and compare two different possibilities for establishing the Poisson structure and Hamiltonian dynamics on an intermediate submanifold: Hamiltonian reduction of the Dirac bracket and intermediate formalism. As an example of the application of intermediate formalism, we deduce on this basis the Euler-Poisson equations of a spinning body, establish the underlying Poisson structure, and write their general solution in terms of the exponential of the Hamiltonian vector field.
