No, you should keep your hand steady. Bouncing makes fingerspelling much harder to read. Try to keep your wrist still and only move your fingers and thumb to form the letters.
You should always use your dominant hand for fingerspelling. If you are right-handed, use your right hand to fingerspell A-S-L. Keep it at a comfortable height just in front of your shoulder.
For the letter 'A', your thumb rests against the side of your curled index finger. For the letter 'S', your thumb moves to the front, wrapping across your curled fingers like a standard fist.
