Note: Historically, those doing the
Cross Cast Back
always passed Left Shoulders. Then a group of callers decided it would be
easier if the definition were changed to specify passing Right Shoulders, and
began teaching it this way to their dancers. The
CALLERLAB definition
of
Pass The Axle is defined in terms of
Cross Cast Back
(which is defined in terms of
Trail Off, which in turn is defined as a
Left shoulder pass from a Couple), hence the shoulder
pass should be Left shoulders. The moral of all this is that you
should be aware that some dancers may insist on passing Left
Shoulders and others may insist on passing Right Shoulders.
We
prefer passing Left Shoulders, but will yield when faced with a conflict.
Please be aware that there is a controversy and try not to collide with anybody.
