Definitions ==> Calls and Concepts
Trail Off
We have been discussing Trail Off from various positions and we have no problem with the lead-dancers but we find some variations in the trailer part.

e.g.

  1. From Columns we have seen 2 versions:
    1. Trailers Cross and do a U-turn-back away from the center.
    2. Trailers step forward and trade with each other.
    Which one is the correct?

  2. From Z-formation.

  1. Technically, the first definition is correct. If the Trailers are both facing the same direction, they should pass Left-shoulders with each other. The pass is a Left-shoulder pass because both dancers are facing the same direction, and hence as one movement they do a Half Sashay then Peel Off, which has the Belle crossing in front of the Beau.
  2. From a "Z" (e.g., from a Wave after the Ends Fold), the trailers are facing opposite directions, hence they can step forward and Trade.
