Although we don't agree on everything ;-), I agree with Keith on this one.   
It is not impossible at all to change weight while in a close embrace although 
"locked" is maybe not the best word to describe it, since that implies a 
restriction of movement. I have always danced close embrace and in body contact 
with my partner and often change weight without the follower knowing it. But I 
don't agree that it is something beginners can master easily because of its 
subtlety, but it can be learned, with a little practice, and taught. 

Cheers,
Charles
