The Suzie Q (also Susie Q, Suzy Q or Susy Q) is a dance step in the Big Apple, Lindy Hop, Salsa, and other dances.
The step is also used in jazz dance, and in Salsa shines.
The step originated from a novelty dance of the 1930s with the same name addressed in the 1936 song Doin' the Suzie-Q by Lil Hardin Armstrong.
Step 1 may also be accompanied with a light swivel of the left toe.
One may continue in one of the ways: In Lindy Hop, Suzy Qs can be performed by couples, either facing each other in open position, or side by side.
