In dorsiflexion, you can actually move backwards, and it's especially a problem for new swimmers; they create excess drag and end up having trouble staying above the water. Flippers can be a great help for training the feet to the correct position. In another video, you talk about kicking with your hands in a leading position, slightly out of the water, and that can help with this too.
I prefer hand-leading kick sets to using the streamline position. Extended kick sets in a streamline compress the shoulder. That causes wear on the rotator cuff, which can eventually lead to failure. I had this in my college swimming days, and have observed it in others. The hand-leading kick drills you discuss are a great way to avoid these injuries.

I'm really bad at single arm backstroke. Though I can manage double arm backstroke decent. I like practicing frog kick with double arm backstroke.
I can't stay a float with single arm. My head sinks and I get water in nose.

How do I prevent my backstroke from veering to one side? I swim in an outdoor pool without lane ropes and there are no ceiling rails or markers for me to spot to swim straight.

i love your chanel so much. i was wondering if you could do a pre event warmup for each stroke? kind of like a mini set you can do in the warmup/warmdown pool at a meet.

Hopefully, tomorrow I'm going swimming with my boyfriend after a two year hiatus; he's going to learn from the scratch, with your help, so thank you!

love swimming backstroke if the pool is reasonably quiet, but normally I need a rear view mirror to see if I'm going to swim into anyone.

I am frustrated that not a single backstroke video addresses breathing and to sync up with arm movements, avoid water getting in nose.
