I believe soul line dances are usually learned by watching people dance it and memorizing the steps and how they fit the music, making strong musical muscle memories. This dance, fortunately, also lends itself to being counted and written into a step sheet for other learning preferences. The counts are based on the rhythm of the music. The dance starts on down beat before singing starts. This is a “starting on the left” oriented dance. Some step combinations follow the “4 and 1, 8 and 1…” pattern. Body and hip rolls are optional but make a wonderful difference! This is a great choice for a performance dance.
