How to sign “Stages” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Stages” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant forearm horizontally across your body with the palm facing down.
- Make a flat hand with your dominant hand, fingers extended and held together.
- Place the edge of your dominant hand on the forearm, close to your body.
- Sweep your dominant flat hand outward along the top of the forearm.
- Keep the palm facing down the whole time so the hand reads as a flat platform.
- Keep your body still and your expression neutral throughout the sign.
