To sign 'dizzy,' bring your dominant hand up in front of your face in a bent '5' handshape, similar to a loose claw. Keep your palm facing toward you. Move your hand in a continuous circular motion in front of your face, as if your head is spinning. Be sure to add a slightly disoriented or woozy facial expression to match the meaning.

'Confused' typically involves pointing to the brain and then bringing two clawed hands together in a mixing motion. 'Dizzy' uses just one hand swirling directly in front of the face to show a physical spinning sensation rather than a mental mix-up.
