i just recently started doing butterflies in my slip jig and I LOVE THEM lol i do them about 3 times throught my slip jig and the way i was taught was to hit your toes together when your feet go in and hit or almost hit your heels together when your feet go out.(hence the clicking in hard shoes) the best tip ive ever gotten is this: whatever foot is behind keep it more straight than fluttering about and youll have an easier time clicking them together. as for hieght its just something you have to practice jumps. if youre just doing butterflies it should be an easier jump to get height since when you push off your feet should turn on the floor giving you more energy to get up in the air
