We like the texture of the pivoting together in this step. Find the interpersonal dynamic and it feels really cool. You are each shifting from one foot to the other while you pivot. The trick is to make the pivot and the weight shift as much together as possible.

It's almost impossible to get that togetherness if the follower tries to "help" make the step work. It does help a lot if the follower allows the leader to do them both rather than trying to pivot and shift.

While the follower is letting the leader do them both, the follower is engaging her body. She grows out of the floor like a tree into the sky and the engagement from the balls of her feet to the top of her head helps make it magic.
