Amanda, On the whole, these gestures are pretty good. There's a good buildup of energy, weight shift and follow through in all of these. Try to turn the shoulders in a different axis from the hips, so there is torque or turning in the spinal column. Where you do this with your drawings, the result is stronger, overall. Add in overlap and weight shift, and a stronger sense of dynamism id established. Try to avoid shape fills. I'm more interested in value patterns with shading (forms) than I am about shapes and fills. Well done.
