I'm not sure what you mean by this. I know of acrobats who stand on their hands in circus or other performances, but I don't know the expression "stand on her hands" at a concert.
Please explain.
================================
1. After singing a song, she stood on her hand. [She used one hand here.]
2. After singing a song, she stood on her hands. [She used two hand here.]
3. He stood on his hand for a moment.
[He used one hand here.]
4. He stood on his hands for a moment.
[He used both hands here.]

Are the explanations right?

Here's the dictionary meaning of the phrase:

So I'm trying to come up with possibilities for you.
After singing a song, she held her hands up high.
At the end of the concert, she applauded with her hands held high.
There's also this expression -- to sit on his hands:

I don't think that's what you're after, though.
