Today (I'm in Sydney Australia right now), I've found this article which made me laugh.
AUSTRALIA'S heaviest newborn, the elephant calf nicknamed Mr Shuffles by zookeepers, spent his second day getting to know his extended family at Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
The «miracle» calf, who emerged from his mother Porntip's womb on Wednesday morning — two days after being declared dead — is continuing to make good progress. […]
«He appears to have a lot more co-ordination, has great control of his trunk and is shuffling around more confidently.» […]

Conclusion: The animal keeper must be a Balboa teacher…

To feature a Song of the Week is actually not my invention, there was at least one blog with a similar column, but unfortunately after a short while they stopped posting.
I like the idea and since I'm DJ'ing quite a lot, you might be interested!
I would like to start this column with one of my all time favorites.
This is a great song either for a Lindy Hop or for a Balboa crowd.
I especially like the break after about 2:50 where you think a new song is going to start before you realize that it's still the same one.
Title: All The Cats Join In
Artist: Benny Goodman & Orchestra
Recorded: June 12, 1944
Tempo: 180 bpm
Dance: Lindy Hop, Balboa
You can find the songs of the series also on my Spotify playlist.
