During a low sacada, your calf is placed in the path of her calf.<<
This misses the point that a sacada is mostly an illusion. You lead the
woman's step. As the weight comes off her leg, you step into position in
front of the leg to be displaced. The fact that you have shifted weight
to another position is what alters her body movement; she is staying in a
circle around you. Your "displacement" does relatively little work; it
really just slightly deflects her leg movement as she is taking the normal
step that you have led.
