Any thoughts of calling the Look-Back Rule?

I think the way the rule is technically written it would be a LBR violation, however I would be hard pressed to call the violation as it is clearly a part of the playing action of the batted ball being caught.

As long as the runner, after she left, and stopped, immediately returned to 3b I'm not calling anything. If she stops, than dances, then I am calling a LBR.
