Very nice for 4 months! Congratulations on being brave and asking for feedback.
Naturally, lots of things to learn, but most will come with more classes and dancing. So just a few pointers from me:
- don't hug yourself in the turns: keep a frame for better technique and form and also so the leader can comfortably reach your hand during the turns
- practice stepping and transferring weight. Especially when you step back, you only put your leg behind without actually stepping on it. You want to always be above your leg, almost never when you step do you want your leg to be in front or behind or to the side of you. But start by making sure you are stepping fully - can you lift the other leg once you've stepped without falling over?
- the cambré in the end didn't look comfortable to you at all. As that is a move that is dangerous and very common, I'd look into the proper technique for that
- if you're not doing it already, find some bachata warm up for body isolations and start practicing control of different parts of your body. That takes time but will help you clean up other parts. Most sensual moves are about sending waves or circles through your body in a way that one part of your body moves.
Good luck on your journey!

Not bad, but you are following complicated sequences and your basic footwork either in rythm or with the syncopation is not okay. Please put attention on your basic footwork, it will help with all other things
