No, quickstep is right - the knees and ankles work in opposition on a weighted foot.

When a foot is unweighted - reaching or leaving - then you can have the heel up and the knee straight. But when you are over a foot, the knee is straighter with the heel down and more bent with it up.

So the samba bounce happens entirely within your body - it doesn't make it to your head.
