re: Body contact in whisk or feather

Well, we seem to have switched topics in this thread from the Whisk and Feather to the Oversway. After reading Jonathan's post on the subject, I was a little confused and that could be because I've only had a little exposure to the Oversway. I'm sure Jonathan knows what he's talking about but this part seems backwards to me:

After weight has been fully established over the left foot, then start to work on the shape. There are two primary elements to this shape: (1) Rightward rotation, and (2) Leftward sway.

I thought that in an Oversway, the lady is going towards the man's left side. The man would step to his left and the lady would oversway in that direction. If the above quote was written from the man's perspective, as putting weight on the left foot seems to indicate, I would think that the man is then rotating left and swaying right. The rightward rotation and leftward sway seems right for the lady, but I thought she was stepping on her right foot for the figure.

So could someone clear things up for me? As noted, I don't know this move too well, so I suspect I'm just missing something here. If anyone could provide some additional help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
