Hi! GS is mainly a forum of skating fans, who are caught up in the approaching world championships. There are a few of us who are also skaters ourselves, and there are one or two coaches. I watched your video clip, but it needs a coach to answer, if they're not too busy just now. What does your own coach say? Does he/she say it's getting close to a toe loop? At this point I don't see both blades (blade and pick, that is) off the ice at the same time, so it's sort of a walk-through for a toe loop, but you're getting there !

Not a toe waltz. You took off from the outside edge, before your foot turned an entire 180 degrees, with your free heel leading. Therefore, it cannot be a toe-waltz, which ignores the correct takeoff edge, switches to a forward stance while grounded, and then simply completes a waltz jump.

I agree, not a toe waltz. The way I explain it is that if your free foot is behind you when you take off it's a toe waltz; if it's in front of you it's a toe loop. I like the way Mathematician mentioned "with the heel leading."
