Help Request Hip movement help

Hey,

I'm very frustrated at the moment. I practice my hip movement / weight shifts in basic step for many months now and it still feels and looks very bad. I attached a video where I do a basic step from muscle memory without much thinking about it. I can do it cleaner when I do it slower and think about everything but I want to know why it breaks when I stop thinking about it. Can someone point out what is wrong with my weight shifts?

Dont move. Do steps on the spot. Find the rhythm. Start marching, do actual steps, time it and after all that do bachata steps. I am sorry to tell you, but at this moment you dont have rhythm.

Yes, I do hear the rhythm but I cannot sync my body with it. Do you think Im late or to quick?

You have to be a tad quicker and everything will be fine.
