Re: [Callers] Playing With Butterflies

Had a recent inspiration on a couple of Butterfly Whirl sequences - looking for input on a few questions/options... opinions welcome! Thanks, Don Butterfly DRAFT 20180410.1 - 4 Face 4 - Don Veino A1 LLF&B, Circle/8 RIGHT 1/2x A2 Circle/4 Left 3/4x, Opposite N Swing [at Gent’s progressed home] B1 (option A) Gents Star Left ~3/4x (to P) P Star Promenade 1/4x [all at progressed home], Butterfly Whirl to face center (option B) Opposite Gents Allemande Left 1+1/2x (to P) P Star Promenade 1/2x [w/in opp. 4; to all at progr. home], Butterfly Whirl to face up/down B2 (option A) Ladies Star Right 1x (to P), P Swing & face progression (option B) Opposite Ladies Allemande Right 1x (to P), P Swing & face progression Questions: - Option A, IMO, is more of a "real" 4 facing 4 - but I'm uncertain if the timing will work? (Option B = bog standard timing.) - Is there a strong argument for one option vs. the other - will dancers care if the majority of the action is in 2-couple groups with opposites rather than involving all 4 couples? - Will there be a significant space problem when all 4 couples pass through the center in B1 option B? Butterfly DRAFT 20180410.2 - DI - Don Veino A1 N Balance & Swing A2 Gents Allemande Left 1+1/2x (Ladies left arm over P’s right as picked up), P Star Promenade 1/2x, Butterfly Whirl CCW along set to next Ns*, stay connected with P B1 Ladies Catch RH, Star Promenade P 1/2x CW, Butterfly Whirl CW into P Swing [on L’s home side] B2 Ladies Chain, Half Hey (back to THIS N...) End effects: re-enter in Butterfly hold with P (where/how depends upon answer below) *Question: I believe the butterfly shift could progress this dance forward (whirl shift to right as face out) or reverse (shift left). I believe reverse progression would flow/feel slightly better but forward progression could be less confusing to dancers - which would be best?
