[2026] Compilation of Sign Language Dance Videos (1–10)
Permission to DanceBTS
BTS is a boy group active around the world.
When it comes to their song with sign language choreography, it has to be “Permission to Dance.” This track became a hot topic because Ed Sheeran was involved in its production and because they performed it at the United Nations General Assembly.
The song carries a message along the lines of “Let’s all enjoy dancing together and deepen our connections.” The choreography for this piece incorporates sign language.
It appears in the section after the second chorus, expressing words like “fun” and “dance.”
ultramarineYOASOBI
For those looking for a sign language dance set to a youth-themed song, “Gunjō” is also recommended.
The track is by the music duo YOASOBI, and its lyrics portray the effort put into pursuing one’s dreams.
In the video, members of UD DANCE SCHOOL perform a sign language dance.
Their sharp movements create a stylish impression.
Also noteworthy is not only the body movement but the rich facial expressions that match the sign language.
Anyone trying it will surely find it helpful.
Palms to the Sun
This is a sign language dance that’s also great for nursery and kindergarten recitals and performances.
Because “Tenohira o Taiyou ni” is a song everyone knows, it’s easy to start with as your first sign language dance.
Its simple, positive lyrics are a perfect match for signing.
Plus, you can learn basics like “I/me,” “live,” and “happy,” as well as enjoy learning animal signs like “frog,” “earthworm,” and “water strider.” Instead of thinking, “Sign language sounds difficult,” just have fun singing and dancing!
Genesis of AquarionAKINO from bless4
The theme song of the sci-fi robot anime Aquarion captivates listeners with its refreshing melody line and beautiful lyrics that depict love transcending time and space.
In the powerful, belted chorus, it sings of the joy of a forward-looking romance.
In your sign-language dance, try expressing that joy especially strongly during the chorus.
The hand sign for “I love you” will surely resonate in the hearts of those watching.
It’s even more impactful when danced as a group rather than solo, so I highly recommend it.
New EraAdo
Ado’s “New Genesis,” the theme song for the film ONE PIECE FILM RED, became a huge hit.
With forward-looking lyrics about creating a new era and a powerful message, this track is perfect for sign-language dance.
While firmly incorporating sign language for key words like “sing,” “free,” and “future,” move your body dynamically to freely express a new era.
Since the song’s melody is fast, try a fresh, cutting-edge performance by powerfully syncing hand signs with the rhythm.
Let’s give it a tryWANIMA
We’d like to introduce “Yatte Minayo” as a song that people of all ages can enjoy while doing sign-language dance.
This track was created by the rock band WANIMA and is also known for being featured in au’s “Santaro Series” commercials.
The song is based on the children’s tune “Picnic” and sings about the importance of taking on new challenges.
Its cheerful melody naturally lifts your spirits.
Another appealing point is that many people have shared choreography that isn’t overly complicated.
PerfumeEito
With its acoustic guitar tone and wistfully beautiful melody line, “Perfume” perfectly matches the atmosphere created by sign-language dance.
Being tossed around by a carefree ex while still thinking of them with a nostalgic tenderness feels pure and beautiful in its own way.
Even when expressed in sign language, the movements are poignant and deeply moving.
Try to interpret the lyrics in your own way and express them lyrically.
You’ll create a performance that conveys the song’s world through both sight and sound.
