Looking for feedback, and whether ready to move to next progression.

Thank you!

The tHeS is almost there, but the entry needs help. Start by pressing up from Tripod (HS/PE1) there should be no jumping into position. Dillon, the athlete in the video, is using a more advanced entry, but notice it's done with complete control.

 

On the headstand itself, I like the hands just a bit closer to your body and the headstand should be a bit steadier before moving on.

As Cole said, make sure you keep your hands stacked directly under your elbows (nice 90 degree angles), and keep your core tight in order to stabilize. Flex those abs and glutes, and actively stretch your toes away from your body.
