The underlying footwork for this move just involves the leader stepping backwards and the follower stepping
forwards; the important feature of the move is the follower's body styling. As the name of the move indicates,
the follower should appear to be sagging against the leader, with a loose body that appears to offer no
resistance to his movements.
