Leader's body movement? What leader's body movement? In sweep or any step.

When the guy keeps his upper body static relative to hers, and she to his, 
thence the union. Within that union, the lead is just kinesthetic gesture, 
only the suggestion to move... as one.

I thought "leader's body movement" is what happens at the front end of a 
panto cow.
