Lots of times, you may have a leader who leads the pivot with his arms, who doesn't pivot with the follower, who mis-times his back step (your forward step) after the pivot. It's clear to you that this leader has never experienced the enchantment of great togetherness in media vuelta. It's possible to give him a hint, and make your experience better by doing two things, each hard to explain:

  1. Tighten a little more than normal through your core and keep your left arm more elastic. Then follow the movement of his chest rather than his arms.
  2. Wait a miniscule moment before going where he leads you. This must be extremely subtle but, if you learn to do this, it can (subtly) call the leader's attention to how much you are moving with him.
