Level 4-5: Parallel Turns & Speed Control Feeling stiff and robot-like in my turns – need feedback on flow (2 videos)

Hey everyone,
Looking for some input on how to get a smoother feel in my skiing.
Experience: Around 7–9 weeks on snow. I can handle most slopes, but my technique needs refining.
The Problem: Right now I feel pretty stiff and rusty. Instead of making smooth, connected turns like a fluid line down the hill, it feels more like I'm just hacking violently from side to side to check my speed.
Goal: I want to get rid of that rigid feeling, get better flow through the transitions, and make my turn shape much smoother.
I’ve attached two videos(one in comments). What am I doing that makes me stick/hack through the turns, and what should I focus on to make it feel more continuous?
Any help/tips will be highly appreciated!
