From an applicable 2 x 2 (usually a Mini-Wave Box or Tandem Couples) or "Z".

As one movement, Leaders step forward if necessary, Run (180° toward the center of the 4-dancer formation) and Veer Out as the Trailers step forward if necessary and Trade (passing left-shoulders if facing the same direction).

A Non-T-Bone starting formation always ends in a Line. In particular, a Mini-Wave Box ends in a Two-Faced Line, and Tandem Couples end in a One-Faced Line.

起始于 R-H Mini-Wave Box:

注意:
  • Trail Off is a Cross Peel Off. You need to cross the center of your 4-dancer formation to end on the far side.
  • When starting from Tandem Couples, pass Left-shoulders with the other dancer in your Couple. This is because Trail Off is a Cross Peel Off: Leaders do a Half Sashay then Peel Off as Trailers step forward if necessary do a Half Sashay then Peel Off. Of course, when dancing, don't abruptly do a Half Sashay then Peel Off. Instead, blend the Half Sashay and Peel Off into one smooth movement.
  • Everyone can Roll after a Trail Off.
  • From non-T-Bone formations, Trail Off always ends in a Line. Dancers who start in Tandem end in a Couple, with the original Lead dancer ending as an End of the resulting line, and the original Trailing dancer ending as a Center.
  • Trailer traffic patterns:
    • If facing opposite directions:
      Extend (if necessary) & Arm Turn 1/2.
    • If facing the same direction:
      Step ahead (if necessary) & left-shoulder Partner Trade.

Peel Off [Plus] (Howard Liffick 1962): From an applicable 2 x 2 (usually a Mini-Wave Box or Tandem Couples) or a "Z". As one movement, Leaders flip away (180°) from the center of the 4-dancer formation and step forward if necessary as the Trailers step forward if necessary and U-Turn Back by turning away from the center of the 4-dancer formation. A Non-T-Bone starting formation always ends in a Line.

Peel & Trail [A2] (Lee Kopman 1966): From an applicable 2 x 2 or "Z". Leaders Peel Off as Trailers Trail Off. A Mini-Wave Box ends in a Wave; Tandem Couples end in a One-Faced Line.

Trail & Peel [C4] (Lee Kopman 1966): From an applicable 2 x 2 or "Z". Leaders Trail Off as Trailers Peel Off. A Mini-Wave Box ends in a Wave; Tandem Couples end in a One-Faced Line.

Trail To A Diamond [C2] (Bill Trench 1973): From an applicable 2 x 2 or "Z". Leaders Trail Off as Trailers Extend if necessary and Hinge. A non-T-Bone starting formation Ends in a Diamond.

Trail The Deal [C4] (Vic Andrews 1963): 起始队形为可适用的 2 x 2 或 "Z". 做为一个单一、平滑的动作, Leaders 做 Trail Off and Roll 并 Step Ahead, 同时 Trailers 成 Tandem 紧跟 Leaders. 结束队形为 Single Double Pass Thru (Zero Tag). 简易跳法: Tandem Trade & Roll, 若起始队形为 Tandem Couples 则过左肩.

Trail The Wave [C4]: From Parallel Waves. Complete The Tag (Extend Twice); Trail Off. Ends in Facing Lines.
