In order to learn the moves, it's best to practice slowly, counting the beats out loud while going through the motions. By taking the time to learn slowly, you'll have an easier time remembering the moves later on. If you're new to the Cotton Eyed Joe dance and want to join in at a dance party, watch the first few rounds of the dance before joining. The dance repeats for the entire length of the song, so you'll have plenty of time to join in after watching and getting the hang of the moves from the sidelines. You can also find videos of people doing the Cotton Eyed Joe on YouTube. Spend some time listening to the Cotton Eyed Joe song and try to remember which counts of the dance line up with specific words in the chorus. If you get lost during a round of the dance, you'll be able to listen to the song to help you find your place. The chorus of the song is 16 beats, and is the same length as one round of the Cotton Eyed Joe dance. The final hook, "Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton Eyed Joe?" lines up with your final 8 counts of the dance, where you will be moving from side to side. The Cotton Eyed Joe is a long song, and it is most common to see people join in on the chorus. When you're new to the dance, try performing the moves during the chorus so that you'll have lots of other people to blend in with. If you get lost or forget the moves along the way, wait for the top of the chorus ("If it hadn't been for the Cotton Eye Joe, I'd been married a long time ago...") to start the dance over again. During the rest of the song, feel free to keep performing the Cotton Eyed Joe dance, or dance in any other way you please! Once you get the moves down, try adding tiny jumps on your left foot as you perform the first stationary toe-tap moves. Bounce on your right foot when you lead with your left foot. The bouncing will help make the moves look and feel more upbeat.

Summary:
Practice the moves slowly at first. Watch other people perform the dance. Learn how the dance moves line up with the song lyrics. Join in on the chorus. Add a bounce on your left foot for the first eight counts of the dance.
