Best Reason to Stop Trying to Master the Electric Slide: Because you will never be as good as Lil' Buck––fact. One look at the 22-year-old dancer from Memphis' insanely fluid moves in this video (filmed by Spike Jonze) makes you wonder whether he even has bones in his body. Yo-Yo Ma's musical accompaniment is heavenly. Spike Jonze Presents: Lil' Buck and Yo-Yo Ma
