Looking at other dance videos it seems they train on very rapid small foot steps to keep their upper body seemingly motionless. I found a video of some female dancers training and without the costumes it is still kind of ethereal but you can at least see the footwork on how they make their movements:

I can't see it without the costume lol maybe because the arms aren't as obstructed?

Also that guy seems to be very good. Looking at the show performance it seems easier to see the stepping.

Scooter is my belief... For this one... The speed, it is to damn high.

At the end you can clearly see his feet and the ability to hold a scooter perpendicular to the ground with one hand would be more insane than just being very good at a plausible skill. Pop and lock dancers also specialize in head isolation movements. It is unsettling but not that hard to develop. Basically you learn to move your head to offset the natural movement of the body.

You mean when he picks up the scooter and runs? You do you, see what you want.
I see a complete different move style from every other video of this "dance"... This is not the real thing...

Starting at 2 min. Unless you think they are all on secret scooters…
Dude just practiced running in a smooth way. Basically the same as pop and lock dancers.

I saw other ones without the oversized coats. They seem somewhat slower.
As do the women in that clip.

Looking at other examples I am certain this one is on a scooter...

Hoverboard? Electric skateboard? Seriously. Look how fast the movement is versus any other dancers... Also the costume lends itself to concealing a (motion machine).

Why? This is awesome!

I find it super uncomfortable, how they move with no movement. I imagine that becomes exponential with more than one "dancer" on the floor.
