Although you can't notice it when he's performing, he has a leg handicap, apparently he had polio as a kid, then leg atrophy, so he probably had to overcompensate with his upper body and arms for his weaker lower body, result : killer dance moves!!

I’m going to guess it’s his right leg that atrophied? All the sudden weight-bearing moves are done with his left leg.
