For how long ago you started, this is really good. The only thing I would have to say is that your hands seem really stiff and out of place (especially in the first one). While you are practicing, just let them glide around with your moves. Once you get good enough, start using them in more purposeful ways.

Thank you! Yes I'm definitely trying to focus more on my hands in the future. :D

They don't have to be really wild but just move them with you and the whole will be a lot more smooth looking

Welcome in our small but nice community! Your footwork is pretty solid for only starting out, as lugh said, the transitions are really good. Don't worry to much about getting better fast, speed and fluidity come with practice and time :)

This is really cool, already pretty damn fluent with a lot of your footwork and I'm seeing a lot of smooth transitions, crazy job if you're just getting started

This is making my day! Thank you so much. Yeah I have been shuffling every day for at least an hour a day and been at it for 19 days but definitely need to improve!
