Handshake 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

Creative Handshakes

Create a genuine and thoughtful handshake, and the planet opens up for you.

Why The DailyXander "Handshakes"?

In 2018, when I was working as a personal trainer on my first cruise ship (Seabourn Quest), I would look for ways to be creative with documenting my travels and with capturing something about the people I met. An idea that occurred to me. Thus the handshake was born. The premise is different every time as I do my best to work with the person to incorporate their personality into a unique choreography. Once we created a handshake, and with limited practice, I would capture it on video. This has led me to experience seeing individuals laugh and smile from a shared interaction as simple as making a handshake “event” together. 

 

Creating a genuine, fun, and passionate moment for life is sparked through the handshake, and the "DailyXander Handshake" looks to inspire and serve as a reminder to not take life too seriously and to be open to meeting others.
