I like the turn around, but if I could say something about the animation, your right arm should be at the front when the right leg is at the back.

"When the right foot is forward, the right arm is back, and vice versa. This is called "counterpose". This is how nature keeps everything in balance when you move: one side of the body "opposes" the other. Good animation has these "opposing actions" all the time. If animation seems weak or unnatural to you, it is frequently because it lack opposing action."
