注意:

Dancers are often confused as to who walks and who flips. Many dancers wait before moving until they see another dancer move. Hence, if you know which part to do, be assertive and move! EN: 50

舞者常常对谁向前走谁翻身走感到迷惑. 许多人是等看到另外的人移动了之后才移动. 所以, 如果你知道怎样做, 就自信地开始做! CH: 50
For smoother dancing, those who flip over should turn 1/4 toward the adjacent dancer and pause briefly to allow them to move out of the way. EN: 60

为了使舞步平顺, 翻身走的舞者应先向相邻的舞者转身, 然后稍作停顿, 等到其向前移开位置再走. CH: 60

On Swap Around, some callers teach the Belle to walk forward and point to the Left or make a hand-wave motion to the dancer in front of them. This signals that dancer to flip over and get out of the way. EN: 90
