This would give the follower a lead to the back and to her left too, _thereby throwing her off balance_.   Her right foot ending up to the left of her left foot.

I hope people see what I mean about choosing words very correctly on
Tango-L?    :-)

Still, I don't understand you're 'falling down technique'.   That's a
new one on me.     

Do you understand the off-balance idea at all?   How about if I said
'led off axis'.     Still nothing?  

As for squaring..?  It squares very well...  She gets to do it to
herself by following the two simultaneous, usually contradictory,
leads coming at her.  They are multimple leads so she must do both at
once, by herself...   But then she catches herself too...  Again, all
by herself...  Because the follower could follow and had confidence in
the leader....    

Tango on.

Floyd...
