similar to the awkward turtle, place your hands on top of each other, except point your palms towards the awkward individual (representing the evolution of the ninja turtles to walk upright) and make punching/kicking gestures with your forefingers/thumbs

A combination of the awkward flamingo and the classic Pee Dance. To accomplish this, an awkward situation must be present, and the intense desire to run away. Stand with knees slightly bent in, one more crossed than the other and hold your hands at your crotch (as if about to pee self). Rock back and forth while backing away slowly. Optional: Hands in back pocket and sharp intake of breath.
