compared to which, moonwalking is a redheaded stepchild

Ever heard of the Balboa? If you live here you're probably thinking Balboa Park. Cool beans. I love Balboa Park. But my latest Bal love is a dance by the same name. Check it out:

These guys are ridiculously world-class dancers. The footwork's so slippy I think it looks like they're dancing on ice. Don't miss the his-n-hers slides at 1:01 and 1:12!

And yes, the dance originated in this general area of the country.
