For example I know how to sign dance, but how do i say "the woman is dancing". How do I add "ing" to a word?

You don’t. What you are doing is translating English into ASL word for word and it doesn’t work that way.

Woman + dance = the woman is dancing. Or you can point to the woman and add dance, you might not need to sign “woman” depending on context.

You need to learn from native speakers and copy them.
