How to Make Spirit Fingers

The movie "Bring It On" chronicles a high school cheerleading team as they try to make it to the national cheer competition. They call in a coach, Sparky, to teach them a routine. He famously teaches them how to do "spirit fingers" to bring out the energy. The move is similar to jazz hands. Spirit fingers can be done by cheerleading or dance teams, or by individuals as they dance.
