Start dance 16 counts in. I believe soul line dances are usually best learned by watching someone do them and memorizing what steps are being done to which parts of the song it is choreographed to. This one, however, I think, lends itself nicely to being counted out in a step sheet which is nice for dancers who learn more easily from seeing the steps written out. But whichever way you learn, relax and bounce smoothly to the music, smile, and enjoy yourself! Bounces are sweet and gentle to go with music.
