Re: [Callers] "pick her up"

I don't recall anyone saying 'whirl her around'.  That would imply the gent is not moving - which is not the case.  I usually just say 'butterfly whirl'.  When I teach, I occasionally show the problem if they let the ladies role do all the traveling.

And whirl/reel her around" (again, both butterfly whirl / courtesy turn / a few other moves). (Thanks for helping me clarify!)

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.)
