Yes, for step one you should not move your body weight back into your heel before you partner moves his foward into his toe.

However, this concern for not moving through the foot too quickly is somewhat unique to step one, or upswing actions. On the second step of something like a feather, the likely error is waiting too long to move the weight into the heel - it must arrive in the heel promptly but then stay supported, by pushing up out of the heel as the body floats over the foot rather than falling past it.

Step three actions are a little in between. As downswings, they shouldn't arrive in the heel too early, but like step two the period during which the toe is releasing and the weight is being supported by push up from the heel is critically important to creating a full, smooth movement.

The cycle is completed when we realize that the supported heel push/toe release from step three directly enables the controlled heel lowering and un-hurried arrival on the next step one.
