(Dance information by the deviser, Sue McKinnell)

The butter churn is a mechanical device historically utilized for the conversion of cream into butter.
Commonly employed in domestic and agricultural settings, especially during eras when manual churning was prevalent, the device typically comprises a cylindrical container with a handle. The handle facilitates the agitation of the cream, separating the butterfat from the liquid components.

The churning process involves repetitive vertical or horizontal movements, inducing physical changes in the cream that lead to butter formation. Although contemporary technologies have largely replaced manual butter churning, these tools continue to exist in history and culture, helping us understand how people used to process food in different ways.
