Anonymous. Ater the weight arrives over a flexed knee it becomes the rear foot, of course the weight will go ahead . How could it not. The foot we are now concerned with is the other foot. The body weight does not get ahead of that foot and will not untill the whole thing is repeated.
If you had ever done a professional examination you would have to stand with the front heel on the floor and the rear toe on the floor and stay there whilst being questioned. Stay there in that split weight position which you have said on more than one occasion doesn't exist. You would also have to explain in detail the correct lowering on a Backward Walk as in the manual. Plus sliding the moving foot forward first on the ball and then the heel. Don't forget you have in the past denied any of this is as being correct. Just look back on your other postings.
You seem to have a mentality that thinks if you have the last posting you are correct, forgetting that anybody can look, or read, or ask their coach. Or for that matter just dance it. I would suggest that you look at some of your previouse posting before you push forward anymore of these home made techniques that you have. Which are at least changing

"Anonymous. Ater the weight arrives over a flexed knee it becomes the rear foot, of course the weight will go ahead."

If you are caling the foot you are arriving on the "rear foot" then you must be calling calling the foot which you just left, which is still behind you the "front" foot. Wierd, but OK.

"The foot we are now concerned with is the other foot. The body weight does not get ahead of that foot and will not untill the whole thing is repeated."

The body weight is ALREADY ahead of this foot, and will stay ahead until quite late in the swing of that free leg. The free leg will only get ahead of the body quite late in its swing, really just before it takes weight. And of course, the body is off balance before it takes weight. In fact, the more the free leg swings in front of the body, the more seriously the body is off balance! Another reason not to get it very far ahead, and to let it get there no sooner than absolutely necessary.

"If you had ever done a professional examination you would have to stand with the front heel on the floor and the rear toe on the floor and stay there whilst being questioned."

That is an exercise posture. And yes, it's important to be able to do that. But it doesn't quite occur in fully flighted dancing - as an exercise, it is properly slightly harder than the real thing.

"You would also have to explain in detail the correct lowering on a Backward Walk as in the manual."

The correct lowering for a backward walk as described in the manual is more or less as it is described in the manual. however, the backward walk in the manual does not have any utility in modern competitive dancing. The backwards walk required in real dancing today is different - lower in the knees, and as a result it requires different foot timing. To ignore this difference is simply to prove that you love trivia, but have no understanding of the reasons why various techniques are required in various situations.

"Don't forget you have in the past denied any of this is as being correct."

I have not. What I have done is pointed out, much to your dislike, that these things are only appropriate in specific situations, and if you are not dancing those situations they may well be quite problematically innaporpriate. But of course if you are dancing the sittuations for which they are described, then they are appropriate.

"I would suggest that you look at some of your previouse posting before you push forward anymore of these home made techniques that you have. Which are at least changing"

They are not chaning, and they came from in-person lessons with some of the world's best coaches... in fact, some of the very people you like to quote out of context. However, unlike you I am careful to report my impressions, and not pass of my recollection as if it were a complete statement from the named teacher on a particular subject. You really need to meet with them in person!
