Here are notes and video I recorded from my friends demonstrating it:
Listen to instruction and lead. Eye contact.
Lesson Jeff Brown Butler Style Video Section 1
1.) Footwork: Left, Right, Back step
2.) Off back step is usually where you start your moves.
3.) Left hand arch - extended then arm down to stop turn then lift to bring her back in. When you throw her out or twist her out you give her two fingers to turn on. She is holding on to you not you holding to her.
Give her two fingers to hold as she spins. (Turn two fingers for repeated turns. And hand above head is stationary spinning, to left or right of head is move and turn. P j )
4.) Skin the cat. Make a muscle and drop hand on back of partner’s neck slide hand down partner’s arm. Step left foot away from follower while ‘making muscle‘, then cross right foot in front of left foot. To do the back step simply step farther away from follower to full extension on back step. From the full extension: Step forward left and start a loop turn, Step forward right passing behind her, Turn to face her Switching hands and Back step. [ F.S.6/27/08 Lessons called it Banana Split or Banana for short]
5.) Sweetheart. Left hand loop turn. Raise her hand across her face and do not let go of her other hand. From Sweetheart lift left hand to spin her outward.
6.) Behind the back. Supine Thumb down is signal. While signaling come in to take her hand with your other hand. Hand switch behind back. She spins out and you switch hands and open position again. Alternatively one can loop turn across her face in same hand position then switch hands and open position.

Loosen up. Grip wrists rather than hands Off Hand Position. Right hand to right. Turn her until similar to single hand sweetheart position. Then use arm to nudge her to spin out.
Review:
(Arch or Loop) Turn Safety: Do Not Turn By Pulling Partner’s Arm into turn or spin but use raising of arm and letting her turn then stop by lowering arm.
Adjust your height to dance partners smaller than you by bending knees lower when arms are extending. Such as when doing the Hammer Lock.
And now Dips. J
Guillotine. Left to her right hand. Left handed Loop Turn and dip. The Dip is lead’s left hand in partner’s right and lead’s right hand under the neck of the partner. Her left hand is across her chest and or abdomen.

Establish a good lead presence before you try this.
Sack of Potatoes. Arms crossed is the signal. It is in the open position and the cross is the lead’s right follows left over lead’s left leads follows right. Keep your hands low (to prevent signaling her to spin.) Turn under your arms. Turn her around twice and into the Hammer Lock Let trailing arm‘s hands loose in Hammer Lock, your right and her left, So that she can do two spins into your left arm then one back out.

Dips:
Usually can be done with any girl or with any experience. Some are with a verbal signal. Some just with flow of position she will dip naturally.
Tarzan. Dip naturally. Left hand loop turn, arm past her face turning her inward. Place finger of right hand on her mid back while turning for a measure device for hand position. Run her right hand “into your neck” and she can hold your shoulder there. Your right hand is then in position for support of her back. Create a wide base with your legs. Turn into the dip. Right leg extended straight and left leg bent. Reverse the turn into the dip to return to open position.
Advice to give to someone for first dip: One leg out (up as in the air) the other a base to support your weight. Lean back with upper back and neck more than lower back.
Closed position either two step (like in high school) or with the back step.
Dip in Closed Position - verbally cued. Because you have to stop and then start to lean and she lifts outside foot and leans as you lean. Using extended hands you pull her arm around to your neck as you dip from the lean position.

Be with her the entire way. Have support of her back and no “free fall” feeling or reality.
Guillotine. Or perhaps Baptism if you are of that type of faith. “If you get good you can do it on a” Soft Surface Dip. Person had better trust you. Your left hand is held by both her hands and your right hand is behind her neck. She remains rigid supporting herself by holding your hand and you further support her by holding her neck. Slow and low or as you get better faster but not low to floor. Extend dismount by lifting her back up and to your side facing the same way.
Your left, her right hand, together. Arms fully extended facing the same way. You turn out 90 degrees to the right bringing her arm with you as a clue cue. She reverse turns under your arm. You turn 180 degrees to the left into facing her and gain support of her back while she secures a grip with her second hand. And you dip.
Pterodactyl. Spin twice into her from full extension and on third turn hook her back with your right arm and your left hand while she grips near your neck and shoulder with her right hand. Dip and return her upright both facing the same direction. Alternative end is you do a full turn after extending escape from dip position ending with your left in her right hand.
From the Sweet Heart you let go of the right hand and she spins out. Then release the left hand also. She holds her left hand 45 degrees high and leaves it out the whole spin dip. Her right hand is on your neck and shoulder.
Practice spin and spotting on a point on the wall. (Don’t get too dizzy.) J
Poor form many look to ground or in the air rather than spotting (Usually the partners face while dancing and spinning specifically.)
Stun the ladies.

Verbal clue cue is “Dip” Chair Behind Her Dip. Offset position right hand in right hand, spin her in hand over her head and behind her back, while you lunge behind her. That leg be “stool” for the dip with wide base. One hand with her hand behind her back and the other around her waist and third point of support is the leg. Speed critical, you want momentum and yet not too much, like faster than she can go, as in pulling too much on her arm.
Advice to a new person to this dip. “Do not worry about the work just when you go up kick your legs up.”

Around the World. Over arm (Arch), Under arm (Loop), Push her forward next - on your right hand side, Switch hands for Right Hand behind the back turn, Your left hand coming around your back for the hand switch and last turn, then back step just to end it.
Not that difficult, it just requires that you have not been spinning your girl a lot before this move. After the music starts a few moves. Can Shuffle Step after Arch and Loop.

Candle Stick. “ Box Cars.” Start at Skin the Cat. Off hand position Right to Right. Coming in use momentum. Your left hand on her right hip and right hand drops from her hand to other (left) hip. She jumps, her hands are on shoulders. Swing to the right Swing to the left, swing to the center straddle, Swing up and bring firmly to the floor. [always wanted to try J instead of the last step being ‘bring firmly to the floor’ let it be: ‘Follow uses abs. to have legs go to rt. angle and slide her between leads legs.’
Hurdle Horse. Verbal clue is Hurdle Horse. Start in Sweetheart, Transition your fore arms under her arm pits and she uses her abs to pull her legs up to a 90 degree angle. You spin her like that for momentum then slowly start spinning once or twice, then stop and her legs should keep going. Pick up one leg and as she spins through pick up your other leg.
Keep clear of her legs at all times and stop with the legs behind or in front of you. No breaking her ankles, got it. J
