good controlled parallel skidded turns but I would hardly call it "dynamic". at 0:34, it looks like you are way in the back seat. The body position is fairly static throughout the turn and the skis aren't being "worked". Turns are also ended with a push out defensive move as can be clearly seen at 0:30, resulting in a slightly wedged position.

The skiing isn't bad, but it's definitely not dynamic.

your mass is you over the skis than what you think. putting the feet apart wouldn't result in an A frame stance you could bring the skis more up on the edge. by what i'm seeing there isn't a break at the hip and your to far back. your timing is extremely good though you follow though with turns very well.

This is a medium radius dynamic parallel turn (center of mass toward the inside of the turn). Feet are appropriate distance apart. Any wider would result in an A frame stance. This is not an open parallel turn where center of mass is over the skis during the turn. Agreed that the shoulders should face down hill a little more. There is a slight breaking at the hip.
