I am still practicing whisk. It seems almost natural to release the RF toe on 2 when the man leads me to back/left and my head is(fully) to right(pp). But I still have to force myself to remember it.

With regard to the back whisk, it is not natural to release the RF toe on 2. It seems that the lady's head turns to pp much later, perhaps on 3.

I think that there are so many angles that I should understand before reaching the "RIGHT" way. It is exciting that I am learning bit by bit through this talk room. Thank you for every feedback.

Here are some detail techniques:
+ 1st step: is RF back (THT). You have to swivel slightly to R on toe of RF.
+ 2nd step: because of the swiveling action you now could step diag. back LF. (If you don't swivel on the 1st step, it's not quite comfortable to make the 2nd step). No releasing of foot.
+ 3rd step: cross behind, but remember to lower at the end of 3.
Again, no foot will be released from the floor. Try it.
