From these 9 positions we have 20 patterns that use a butterfly position. We provide another 20 patterns that complement the butterfly combinations. These 40 patterns can be combined to create hundreds of short combinations and thousands of longer combinations. These patterns can create 620 combinations of length three, and 2,349 combinations of length four, where each combination never uses any single pattern more than once. Based just on the patterns in this handbook, you could literally dance all night without repeating yourself. This handbook provides 5 sets of variations that show how to get into and out of butterfly positions. You can devise many combinations of your own creation. This handbook shows how.

ERRATA: on p.70 where it says "A combination encompasses a number of bars of music that is equal to the number of patterns in the combination" should instead say "A combination encompasses a number of bars of music that is twice the number of patterns in the combination."
