Lil Buck is 26 year-old dance pioneer on his way to legendary status. He first rose to fame when a YouTube video of him dancing to to the music of legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma went viral. His unique style of dance incorporates Memphis jookin’, Hip-hop dance, and elements of classical dance, including ballet which he had studied from a young age.

In this cool series of photos for The Wall Street Journal, Lil Buck defies gravity, with supermodel Joan Smalls by his side.
