Awesome.

That would be good. Skills are learnable.
The one handflap I have that doesn't overlap the usual (like flapping hands to shoo people or critters) is a happy flap. It's a shoulder-high, once up-and-down flap accompanied by a loud squeal. Yes, I know that it sometimes annoys me, but it only comes out when I'm super excited by something, and I feel that I'm allowed to be effusive when my excitement is dialed up to 11.
