While there are some localized signs used by residents, the universally accepted and standard way to sign Utah in ASL is to fingerspell it. Short state names are almost always fingerspelled.
No, you should aim for a smooth, continuous flow between the letters U, T, A, and H without pausing. As you practice, the word will start to look like one fluid motion rather than four distinct letters.
Your hand should remain relatively still in the same location, just below shoulder height. Avoid bouncing your hand or moving it outward with each letter.
