Susie Q in Detail sn0078
- Only Lead's footwork is shown.
- Follower's footwork is exactly the same but four beats ahead/behind Lead's footwork. So on the fifth beat (B5) Follower does Lead's first beat (B1) footwork.
- Footwork is different to normal. All steps are done with the heels slightly off the ground and the knees slightly bent.
- This shows Lead one step before the Susie Q begins. This is the 'facing forward' position referred to below.
|
S1) Lead turns 45° CW approx. from the 'facing forward' position as their left foot steps across their right foot. Lead pivots on the ball of their right foot. |

S3) Lead slightly twists their hips CW and using this momentum Lead rotates slightly CW pivoting on the ball of their right foot. |
