exuberances
Bursts of enthusiasm
Exuberances is the plural of exuberance—instances or expressions of high-spirited energy and enthusiasm.
Where exuberance is typically uncountable, the plural form emphasizes distinct manifestations: The children's exuberances filled the house with noise, youthful exuberances that embarrass us later.
The word can also describe lavish or excessive qualities: the exuberances of baroque architecture.
