You're doing great, keep working on her rhythym. The potential advantage of the step back, protection of her grip (not a priority at her age now, but will be later) and drive momentum by utilizing both legs & both arms. She checks all the boxes.
Such as has been suggested by others, she's opening a little much ... where that will rob some forward momentum. I think she's still hesitant to get to, and through brush without a black-n-blue thigh. Just before her contact point, she's pulling the emergency brake ... which locks up the back side, promotes the lean forward and keeps the hips from the closing and trail foot locked in the past.
Maybe you could work on those issues by focusing on simplifying the pitching motion into 45-degree slingshots. Graduated, slower motion walkthroughs where she's training both her mind and motion from the old habits to the new ones.
PS ... that motion seems familiar, almost like I've seen it before.
