I’ve used (over used) the combination swing thru, turn thru in a number of contras:

Batja’s Breakdown
Stretching the Limits.

Batja’s has pass the ocean

I thought it would be fun to include scoot back in a contra and came up with Lisa’s Contra.  The gypsy in that dance is a scoot back without hands.

Double Take has reverse the flutter
The Mixing Bowl has flutterwheel and reverse the flutter

Steve Schnur probably wrote the first contra with circulate in it called (going by memory here) 24th of Jan.  I’m sure he wasn’t aware of a move from MWSD called circulate when he wrote that contra.  It might be in Zesty if you don’t have it.
