ballroom question; lady's arch pose

In international standard ballroom competitions, the lady often arch back
away from the man, sometimes it appears her head is parallel to the floor.

If the man let go, would the lady fall backward, or is she supposed to
balance herself even in the arch back pose? In other words, is the man's
right arm supporting part of the weight of the lady?
