Definitions ==> Calls and Concepts

Trailers Roll
From a completed double pass thru position, with boys leading girls, boys facing heads position, what is the result of calling the following as written
"Peel off, trailers roll"
Will this result in
  1. Double Pass through, girls leading boys, facing sides position

    or

  2. Girls in the center as facing couples, facing sides position with boys on each end facing each other and the heads position.

If called as "Peel off and trailers roll" this I think should end as in a) as the roll applies after the peel off is completed. If called as above without the "and" could this be considered as applying to the formation at the commencement of the call.

Your expert opinion would be much appreciated.

The simple answer is... "if it's ambiguous, don't call it". It doesn't matter if you're technically correct, if the dancers don't understand it.

From a CPDPT, after Peel Off, everyone is a Trailer, hence all Roll. There are better ways of saying things, for example,

  1. Peel Off, Boys Roll
  2. Peel Off, Girls Roll
  3. Peel Off, Original Trailers Roll
  4. Peel Off, New Centers Roll
  5. Peel Off, New Ends Roll
