Actually, this is a form of street dancing known as Memphis Jookin (Lil Buck was born in Chicago, but grew up in Memphis).

John Borstlap says:

This is how young people finally learn to understand that classical music and cellos are fun and the same as pop music.

When, in a faraway future, they flock to the concert halls, they will expect the things they have come to expect from pop and media culture.

Haydn 70 says:

Not new, but stupid.

Roger Cole says:

Yo Yo Ma is the coolest classical musician on the planet, Thanks Mr. Ma!!
