How to sign “Centers” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Centers” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Bend the fingers of your dominant hand into a loose claw shape.
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm turned up.
- Circle the bent fingertips once or twice above the open palm.
- Drop the fingertips down to touch the middle of the upturned palm.
- Keep your gaze and expression neutral; the sign marks one central spot.
