Video: 8-year-old ‘Lil’ Demon’ is a dancin’ dancin’ dancin’ … dancin’ machine

If you know me, then you know my cardinal rule: Never get into a breakdancing contest with a talented kid. Because kids are light, flexible, have a low center of gravity and absolutely no fear. But this tyke, 8-year-old flyin’ Hawaiian Angelo ‘Lil Demon’ Baligad, is simply supernatural. See for yourself below, as he’s shown dominating an older competitor at the BBoy City Hawaii breakdance competition earlier this month.

As Proximo said in Gladiator, to win in the arena, first you must win the crowd.

Baligad isn’t exactly a well-kept secret; he was on the Ellen Degeneres Show last year, where we all learned that his favorite toy is SpongeBob SquarePants. (Caution: video includes the chilling line: “We’ll be right back with Jimmy Kimmel.”).

Here’s his Facebook page.

It’s all a stinging rebuke to people who say that kids shouldn’t eat a lot of sugar.
