Overall, its not bad.
You're hitting the beats, and your legs look fine.
I think you need to do more with your arms though. There are those moments where your arms are just hanging there. Find something to do with them.

Just a side note: You're a bit hunched. I had the same problem a few years back. Just remind yourself to keep your back straight and you'll do it naturally. This should make your toprock look better too lol.

yeah, I've been thinking that too. at times i don't know what to do with my arms, so it feels awkward.

and do you think I might be a little repetitive?
I try to switch it up, but i usually fall back to my kick steps.

alright, so posture is key?
okay thanks for the tips.

Any advice on how to transition smoothly into indian step?
I find it a little awkward to transition into it, because i seem to have to pause to get my feet in the right movement.

People have different interpretations of the "indian step" , (Some people call hip twists indian step)but if you're talking about like that cross step basic move, (just put one foot in front of the other) I find that you can usually go from kick step>indian step by kicking, then crossing over. It's actually a "variation" of the indian step (like kick step and indian step mixed together) I saw on one of the toprock tutorials on this website
