American Sign Language: "twirl"

Notes:

The sign for twirl around (as in a person standing on a dance floor spinning around).
If you were at a clothing store and someone were trying on clothes and wanted your opinion you could use this sign to ask them to turn around.

Dr. Bill's Notes:

Of course the concept of "twirl" can be expressed numerous ways. Often it is mimed. If I wanted to express the concept of someone twirling their hair I would just mime the action (though I don't have much use for that particular sign personally). Likewise you would mime the "twirling of keys. If you were telling the story of David and Goliath you would mime how David twirled his "sling" over his head.
