Great work on activating ankles for turns, it's awesome to see visibly more responsive turns. Remember, everything we talk about this time is building off this, so make sure to still pay attention to using your ankles. Drills like Edge Hops become quite impossible otherwise.
Folding at the waist while flat-based is a symptom of incomplete hip movement when going from edge to edge. Try to reset to a fully stacked position between turns — shoulders, hips, feet vertically aligned. Not reseting leads to not being able to use your hip when transitioning to the new edge (toe edge in this case). This results in less power, control, and responsiveness since you now have to lean the whole body to get the same weight transition.
Your hip is your center of mass when you are stacked. When on an edge, your hip should be balanced on top of the working edge. (Remember to still use your lower body to turn). This gives you the best control and balance. To lead fast edge transitions, it is key for you to be able to very quickly transition between hip positions. More on this in Edge Hops part 2. See diagram below.
This warms you up to the feeling of being totally stacked despite being on edge and rapidly switching edge to edge. Best done on groomers (watch out to not catch an edge), 3x each way.
Part 1: When traversing across the hill, hop straight up and land back on the same edge. This will be quite difficult to do if your hip is not directly balanced on top of the working edge and/or if your ankles are not activated (especially on the heel-side). So, you can use this to gauge how you are doing. Best done on groomers, 3x each edge.
Part 2: At the end of a traverse, hop straight up and land on the other edge to initiate the turn. When you land, your hip should already be in position to be directly above the new working edge. Here, you are practicing to very quickly transition your hip position mid air, so be careful to avoid shifting the hips prematurely before take off. Best done on groomers, 3x each edge.

Your back arm seems to be acting as a counterbalance to compensate for leaning a lot to achieve your desired edge angle when turning.
Be more “stacked” to eliminate the need to counterbalance. This means to make sure your head, shoulders, and hips are more on top of the board. You can constantly monitor this while riding.
To still achieve the same edge angle without leaning so much into the hill, try using your ankles more. You should feel your toenails pressing up against top of your boots on heel side turns, and your shins pressing down against the front of your boots towards your toes on your toe side turns. Try this at home as shown in the video.
On an easy run, try warming up with some ankle-only turns just to get more used to the feeling. This will help a lot when you get back to doing your full turns.
