This is good @Deirdre DeVito ! I personally recommend taking the first step forward, not backward. Once you hit full handstand, tip over a bit then turn your right hand over. This should help you feel less "awkward" on the first step. The video HS Pirouette 2nd Step is what you seem to be doing on the first step, so just make sure you reach forward and in front of your left hand and that will help you get the momentum through your turn to continue more easily with your left hand.

@Deirdre DeVito Okay good go at it! Just try to keep the arms bent until the legs get back! Like of you were holding yourself just above the reach of water, when your arms straighten you only splash the water forward.

@Kolja Rödel I saw and read your email, but I'm helping friends on their farm this week and I want to dedicate some better time to answer you about the class programming. I will get back to you ASAP!

@Natalia Barbosa the driving force for the pull up are the legs (and the swing) and they also help you keep tempo so the reps don't feel off. What I can see is that your legs are swinging slower as you progress through the reps. This limits the amount of power you can create into the upward phase of the pull up and with a slower pull up due to less momentum, the timing goes off. Try to wait as long as you can on the drop before pulling the legs back. The timing of the legs reaching their furthest backward point should be right as your arms reach full extension. Pulling the legs back early or without enough speed will limit the amount of stretch through your quads and will limit the amount of ROM your legs swing through. So, just wait as long as you can as you drop before snapping the legs back! Next time, if possible, will you take video from the side view? It's really hard to see angles and timing from the frontal view and side would be perfect :) Sorry for the delay in seeing this! I'm super happy you posted!
