I believe soul dances are usually learned by watching people dance it and memorizing the steps and how they fit the music, and making strong muscle memories. This dance, fortunately, also lends itself to being counted and written into a step sheet for other learning preferences. Because the music and lyrics are so important, lyrics are shown below, matched with the corresponding steps. The counts are based on the rhythm of the music.
The dance starts when the rapping starts.
