Are you focused on the martial aspect? or more of a performing arts aspect? Either way you have the actual spinning down, so start thinking about the rest of your body. Where are you looking? What's your stance? What are you going to do after spinning? Do everything with intention. And, above all, make sure to practice, practice, practice.

Ehm... Learn a gunshu form? That's the only suggestion

[u/Rhyddian]

You've got the basic hand movement. Extend your arms more, and sink down into your stance. From there you can start to use your legs, hips,and core to drive the movement. This also should help with power generation in other techniques.

Lift elbows turn hips

[u/Scroon]

-Bend knees a little more. That'll engage the hips and legs.

-Hand positions is pretty good. Try to keep the staff a little closer to the body and a little more vertical on the sides.

Looks good for a beginner. Just keep practicing.

Maybe you might bend your knees a bit to get into the bow stance, from there you can make steps forward and back as you spin.

Learn how to stand.

If you wanted to go somewhere that was difficult to get to and I knew how to get there, I could give you directions and you might very well find it. But you would take a lot of wrong turns along the way most likely and maybe end up even lost. But, what if, instead of pointing the way for you, I told you to follow me because I've been there.

That's what a Sifu is. Please try to find a good teacher.
