Korean: "How to V"

Hello italki community!

Today I want to ask you about the proper Korean way to say "how to + Verb" in sentences like:

Do you know *how to* sing?

Or for example

I learn *how to* dance!

Could you explain me how Koreans translate this "how to" form?

For learning: Korean
Base language: English

how to = 어떻게 ~하는지 / ~하는 법(the way how to...) / ~할 줄(being able to do something..)
"how to sing" can be tranfered like these.. 어떻게 노래 하는지 or 노래 하는 법 or 노래 할 줄

Do you know *how to* sing?
어떻게 노래하(부르)는지 알아요? 노래 부르는 법 알아요?
or 노래 할(부를) 줄 알아요?

~ᄅ 줄 알다 - to know how to ~
~ᄅ 줄 모르다 - to not know how to~

for example:
나래 할 줄 알아요? = do you know how to sing?
나래 할 줄 알아요 = I know how to sing / I can sing
춤을 줄 몰라요 = I do not know how to dance / I can't dance

this is as much as I know, but please wait for someone else to confirm/correct me as I'm only starting to learn!
