Lisa Greenleaf, once upon a time, suggested "scoop up your
partner/neighbor/whomever" as an evocative description for both a butterfly
whirl and a courtesy turn, so I've been using it for years with reasonable
success.

A quick question:
How many callers believe that one role does the majority of the work in a
courtesy turn or a butterfly whirl? If so, can you explain how the shared
weight that differs from an allemande?
I've always been taught about shared weight being essential in all contra
moves, and I guess I'm still surprised when I hear callers prompt "pick her
up and take her to the other side" as if the person in lady/raven role is
not giving any weight. (Or similar one-role-biased prompting.)
Thanks,
Ron Blechner
