PART A
SUZIE Q'S (TRAVELING HEEL GRINDS)
1 Step across (in front of) left onto right heel - toe should be pointed at
45 degrees to left
The left foot should remain in line with right foot and behind it. Feet stay in
4th foot position throughout this section
2 Keeping weight on right heel and keeping the left foot in line behind the
right foot, swivel on the right heel so that the left foot moves to the left,
stays in line with the right and the right toe is now pointing diagonally to the
right
3-8 Repeat counts 1-2 three more times
Optional hands: Put your arms down in front of you, palms parallel to the floor.
Twist the wrists side to side so the fingers always point the same direction as
the toes.
TAP STEPS
9 Rock forward onto right
Optional hands: Put hands out to the sides, palm down, in a "Ta-Daa" move like
you might see from a tap dancer.
10 Rock back onto left
11 Brush right foot forward quickly (on spot where you rocked)
& Brush right foot back toward yourself quickly (on spot where you rocked)
12 Step down on right foot (somewhere close to the left foot)
& Step on left (somewhere next to right foot)
13-16& Repeat 9-12&
LINDY OR CHARLESTON KICKS
17 Kick forward with right foot
18 Bring right foot back next to left (without stepping or touching the ground)
and turn ½ turn to right on left foot
19 Finishing the ½ turn, right-kick forward with right foot
20 Step right foot next to left
21 Left-kick with left foot
22 Bring left foot back next to right (without stepping or touching the ground)

24 Step on left next to right
KICKS, VINE (MOVING BACK A LITTLE)
25 Small kick to right with right foot (keep toe pointed to right)
26 Step with right crossing behind left to start vine moving to left (and moving
back a little)

moving back a little)
31 Step to right with right (moving back a little)
32 Step with left crossing over (in front of) right moving to right (moving back
a little)
You want to be back at your starting point on the floor when you get to this
count. Since the Suzie Qs moved you to the left, make the second vine (counts
30-32) a little bit bigger then the first (counts 26-28) and you should be back
where you started.

pointed to right)
&41 Step right next to left, small step forward with left (Right knee should be
bent behind left. Weight should be on outside edge of left foot. The right knee
pushes on the left to make it bend forward and outward.)
42 Small step forward with right (weight should be on outside edge of right foot
with left knee pressing against the right, pushing it forward and outward.)
43 Small step forward with left (weight should be on outside of left foot with
right knee pressing against the left, pushing it forward and outward.)

with the beat)

the beat)
5 Kick right foot back
6 Bring right foot toward left, kicking the left foot forward at the last
instant and stepping down on the right foot in the spot the left foot was just
in. (So the right foot replaces the left in its spot on the floor with a little
kick-step move.)
7 Start to bring the left leg from in front of you to behind you (should be a
slightly rounded movement.)

There are two possible endings to Part B. The first makes it B1, and causes you
to end with weight on your right foot (ready to do another Part B). The second
makes it B2, and causes you to end with weight on your left foot (ready to do
Part A).
B1 ENDING
PIGEON HEAD
You are still facing diagonally to the left of where this Part B started
41& From the current position, do not move feet. "bob" the head forward using
the neck on count 41, then back on the & count
The head should be up the entire time, only moving forward and back
41&43&44& Repeat 41& three more times
SWIVEL WALK TO HIT (END ON OPPOSITE WALL)

started this part b)
& Pivot ½ turn left on ball of right foot
46 Step on left foot with toe pointed out

that right foot points forward, swing right arm back (kind of far behind you)

43 Staying with the "swingin'" bent over styling, step left foot so that left is
¼ turn to left, swinging right arm to be in front of you
44 Click fingers while holding steps
45 Step right somewhere near the left, swing right arm back
46 Click fingers while holding steps
47 Step left foot so that left is ¼ turn to the left, swinging the right arm
forward
48 Click the fingers while holding steps
This last 8-count section should be done with a little "bounce" to look cool,
like the "Zoot Suits" of old
HITTING THE BREAKS ON COUNTS 33 AND 37 WHEN USING "JUMP JIVE AN' WAIL":
You'll be doing the "Move To The Right" section and the "Move To The Left"
section. The easiest way to accent this is to do one foot movement to the right,
then hold two more counts for the break, then one foot movement to the left,
then hold for two more counts for the break, then continue with the "Pigeon
Head" section
You will be basically doing the above sections minus two foot movements on each
side. This only happens once late in the song. It's no big deal if you don't do
it. It's just accenting the music. You can also occasionally hold on the tap
step section, skipping the scuffing part for a little different style throughout
the dance.
