This looks pretty good! Timing is good; footwork looks good; good posture; good walking.
The next things to improve are: eliminate the jumps on steps # 1 and 2 (no jumping!!!); place step 4 closer to the partner's feet. Step 2 needs to be longer relative to the partner's step in order to have a good position for the next step. Make the direction of step 6 straight forward, rather than diagonal; here he needs to wait one instant for his partner to go, thereby opening up the space. Over all, the whole pattern needs to be executed in a straight line forward, and not drifting diagonally to the side.
Now the step # 3 is actually very good--this is the most difficult one, because there is little room to step with the right foot on the partner's outside, and Henk is maintainging good connection here. So, in summary: good timing, good footwork, good posture. The resolution (6-7-8) is good.
Over all, this is very good. A lot of people will not reach this level after months and months of practice!
