Learn how to sign dance in ASL (American Sign Language) and get ready to move and grove!

2. With the other hand, extend pointer and middle finger, tucking in the rest of your fingers.
3. “Dance” the pointer and middle finger back and forth over the flat hand.
4. This sign looks like the first hand is the floor and the second hand is a pair of legs dancing away! Use this visual to help you remember the sign.

Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign dance in ASL

  • Fun preschool games involve lots of moving – so have a dance party! Move and grove to the music and sign “dance” as you go!
  • Play a stop and go game with dancing. When the music is on, sign “dance!”and everybody moves. When the music shuts off, everybody freeze! (You can use the sign for stop if you want!)
