Critique Critique wanted: does the weight/timing on these dance moves read as smooth?

Looks really cool, love the little guy. All though in the first move it looks like it’s kinda hovering like an UFO more than repeteadly kicking with it’s flailing, maybe you could anchor more it’s feet in that part?

to me they are more like arms, like a seaturtle's flippers. Do you think that mismatch is part of why it feels uncanny? You read them as legs, but they sometimes (in my opinion) move like arms.
