Answer 1

My comments would be

1) work on your lower back flexibility and the range of motion of your hips.    The movements look cleaner when the difference between moving your hips to the left and to the right is more obvious,   It will also make your shoulders seem steadier.

2) Especially in the faster pieces,  make sure that the transitions from quick movements to slower movements are clean and smooth.   You also tend to loose the beat when switching between different movements.

3)  Also in the faster pieces make sure your hands and arms look purposeful.  The focus should be on your hips, but your arms shouldn't hang loose or flap.   They should be specifically placed, but look relaxed.
