When going back, it is important to stay forward on the ball of whichever foot has your weight. When you can allow the move forward of the leader's center to be what takes you from the ball of your foot you're going to to the heel as you step back, your movement becomes more connected to the leader's.

That's true, as we've taught, here in the basic. But it's also true for virtually any backstep you take that's led. Think that you stay forward, even pushing slightly against the leader. Once you get used to this somewhat difficult technique, it feels really cool to both followers and leaders.
