HI Robin, thank you very much for. Greeting from The Netherlands.

[charlesxavier]

Muy bien Robin! 👍 very good explanation and variations of suzie Q

[malaikaigboanugoneemendes]

I'm a better dancer already. Thanks for the great instruction Robin!

[jackgowan]

Love this. Just learned basic Suzie Q - Useful!

[Olzme]

Is this the move Drake does in Hotline Bling? I like how salsa-y it looks.

[Mitsohumohashi]

Thanks for the tips. I guess it's time to practice. I'm just curious about how it looks like in the front with some moves. You' re doing some specific moves during the last suzie. I guess for men we should focus more on our shoulders, right? Thanks for tour answer.

Also, the "in and out" suzy is called "angle suzy q" elsewhere.

If you dance on2, why would you start a Suzie Q to the left on1? why not start to the right on2?

[TheCoochiemann]

Hmm for some reason I always thought you had to end on step 7 on your right foot to reset correctly but I see sometimes you end on 7 on your left foot why is that?

Bit confusing do the on one and on two in the same video. But, I guess people will work it out.
