Igor: I lead my volcaldas from front boleo after a back boleo where she doesn't step forward. As she pivots on her support foot and the free foot comes around, I step back. She doesn't step forward nor backwards.

At this time you move faster and initiate the lean. Once she feels the lean, she will not be able to move to the next step. Besides, your foot is already in appropriate position. You play with the difference in timing. That is the key. This is one of the ways. Igor Polk Igor, You wrote "when she can not make a forward step." But you didn't write how to stop her from making a forward step. My body is moving but I don't want her to step. The only way I can move without the woman moving is to tell her "don't step." That's why I have to give her a slight lift. I don't see how your method tells the woman "don't step."
