hands

Yelled by the expo when plates are stacking up under the heat lamps and nobody's grabbing them. Doesn't matter whose section — the rule is whoever hears 'hands' drops what they're doing and grabs a plate. Food sitting in the window is the cardinal sin.

Hands, or hand performance, is one of the five elements of Vogue Femme and a discipline of its own. It puts the whole focus on the wrists and hands — quick, sharp, rhythmic movements that paint shapes and lines in the air. Done standing or sitting, good hands carry musicality, illusion and narrative: a skilled performer literally tells a story with them, and uses them to throw shade at a competitor mid-battle. It's where technique meets attitude.
