I believe soul and gospel dances are usually learned by watching people dance it and memorizing the steps and how they fit the music. This dance, fortunately, also lends itself to being counted and written into a step sheet. The gospel singer Tim Bowman Jr.’s lyrics are shown in italics and matched with the music below. The counts are based on the rhythm of the music. Pay attention to which patterns go with which melodies/lyrics in the song, makes it easier and more enjoyable to dance.
The dance starts after the 40th count of the music, which is when the singing starts!
