Today's blog will serve as a current glossary of Jazz Hands variations that have been created, discovered and deployed over the past month or so. This list will likely expand and updates will be given as the situation warrants. Almost in alphabetical order:
Amateur Jazz Hands - When someone like myself exhibits Jazz hands, regardless of location.
Forbidden Jazz Hands - Naked Jazz Handing, especially forbidden when combined with Surprise Attack Jazz Hands.
Honka Honka Jazz Hands/Male - A variation of the original but clenching the fingers in a squeezing motion (with hands facing away from you).
Impaired Jazz Hands - If one, or both, of your hands are holding a foreign object, like a top hat, cane or glass of beer, and Jazz Hands is conducted despite the lack of available digits, your Jazz Hands are "impaired."
Jazz Hands Ambush - Approaching a stranger and giving them Jazz Hands without provocation.
Mexican Jazz Hands - A person of Mexican descent displaying Jazz Hands. Traditional Mexican music is not required, as long as you imagine it in your head while the event is occurring.
Pro Jazz Hands - When a professional dancer, such as Al Jolson or Liza Minelli, exhibits Jazz Hands during a dance performance in film or on stage.
Right Hip Dip - Pivoting the body at the waste, to the right while displaying Jazz Hands.
Salutation Jazz Hands - Jazz Handing from afar where the act is reciprocated as a form of saying "Hello!" This can be combined with almost any other variation, but usually has to be an exceptionally boisterous display so that the recipient has a strong visual of the expression. Salutation Jazz Hands can be done at close range, but usually with relatively awkward results, especially with boisterous implementation.
Silent Jazz Hands - Jazz Handing without saying "Jazzzzz Handsssss!"
Forbidden Jazz Hands - Naked Jazz Handing, especially forbidden when combined with Surprise Attack Jazz Hands.
Honka Honka Jazz Hands/Male - A variation of the original but clenching the fingers in a squeezing motion (with hands facing away from you).
Honka Honka Jazz Hand/Female - A variation of the original but clenching the fingers in a squeezing motion (with hands facing toward you).

Spontaneous Jazz Hands - Jazz Handing without premeditation. A natural, spur of the moment, expression of excitement. Almost like sneeze, but serving a different purpose.
