Yesterday I was assisting Reuben Aybar, here in Buenos Aires, and we taught a man to "change weight" without his partner feeling it, in about 5 minutes. The words "weight change" is misleading though. What he learned was how to change feet without his partner feeling it - his axis remained the same. I believe this is what is being referred to. For example, it happens when the leader steps to the left with his partner, changes his weight from his left foot to his right and continues forward with his left foot again. His partner steps to the left with her right foot and continues back with her left, putting the partners in the "crossed system". When the man does this without his partner detecting the weight change, it works, otherwise, she changes weight with him, and they remain in the "parallel system".
