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. EN: 50
  • 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. EN: 60
  • Everyone can Roll after a Trail Off. EN: 70
  • 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. EN: 80
  • Trailer traffic patterns: EN: 90

Peel Off [Plus] (Howard Liffick 1962):

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. EN: 347

Peel & Trail [A2] (Lee Kopman 1966):
