Traffic pattern: For simple calls (such as Circulate, Walk & Dodge, etc.) move directly to your ending footprints. For more complex calls, start the call working distorted, blend into a normal setup, complete the call normally, and then have the resulting Ends move away from the Center in order to re-establish the Butterfly footprints. EN: 60
Traffik mønstre: For simple calls (som Circulate, Walk & Dodge, osv.) gå direkte til dit slut-footprint. For mere complexe calls, start callet fra Butterfly og glid ind I den normale formation - udfør callet som normalt og til slut skal Ends bevæge sig væk fra Centeret for at retablere Butterfly formationen. DK: 60

Sometimes the caller may wish you to start the call in your Butterfly but finish in a normal setup. In these cases the caller will put a suffix such as 'To Normal Waves', 'To A Line', 'To Columns', etc. (e.g., Butterfly Transfer The Column To Normal Waves). EN: 70
Nogle gange vil Calleren starte Callet fra en Butterfly og ønske det endt I en normal formation. Her vil Calleren tilføje såsom "To normal Waves", "To a Line", "To Columns" osv.. (eks. Butterfly Transfer The Column To Normal Waves). DK: 70

Note: A Butterfly can also be T-Bone in which case you do your part working within your set of distorted Columns. EN: 80

Big Block CONCEPT [C3A]:
From applicable 4 x 4 Matrix formations such as Interlocked Blocks, a Butterfly, or an "O". Do the call working in distorted Parallel Lines. EN: 337

"X" CONCEPT [C4] (Jim Davis):
An "X" occupies the same footprints as a Butterfly but is considered to be two diagonal Columns which cross over each other in the middle. An "X" Circulate is the same as a Butterfly Circulate, except that the #3 dancers (in-facing Centers) do a Concentric Box Crossover Circulate (Jaywalk with each other). EN: 579
