By virtical it means that the body's poise returns to virtical and not that we lower straight down without any forward or backward movement. This is a major mistake made by 90% of the teachers out there. They say "lower straight down" when they mean "keep the body virtical when passing through the lowering stage".

You shouldn't be lowering at all in the middle of a foxtrot weave.

But you are correct that vertical alignment of body and foot is irrespective of the presence or abscence of joint horizontal travel of both.
