On
Cross Cast Back, if active dancers start side-by-side (as a
Couple), they pass
Left shoulders. Historically, dancers
have always passed Left-shoulders since this is a 'Cross' movement;
however,
CALLERLAB once 'simplified' the shoulder-passing rules,
and many dancers were henceforth taught to pass Right shoulders. The
current C
ALLERL
AB definition of Trail Off (from Tandem Couples)
states that dancers do a Half Sashay (Belle in front of Beau) &
Peel Off, hence a
Left shoulder pass. Please be careful when
dancing
Cross Cast Back as you may encounter some dancers who
will insist on passing
Left shoulders and other dancers who will
insist on passing
Right shoulders.
