A signature move in a few of their dances is a quick scurry of the feet that gives the illusion of the dancer being on wheels or on a smooth conveyor belt. But it’s done without anything of the sort, just the human foot. […]

She’s a lot like you
The dangerous type

Then the song rides those goofy/sublime guitar-and-synth lines straight to heaven.

They’re twisting their feet back and forth rapidly, an inch or two at a time, causing the body to move to their right (the viewer’s left), even as they slowly and smoothly pull in the slide simultaneously… It is the only time I’ve ever seen anyone do it, and they clearly do it very very well.

Probably using a not dissimilar mechanism as the ballet artists are (but they do it for a much longer time, if so)
