Does anyone know of any helpful tutorials? He clearly practices certain drills to be able to wing it. It’s not just a matter of learning one pattern.
Also, are those special shoes that allow him to easily be on his tippy toes with out bending?

You might be underestimating the amount of strength and precision needed to move your body like this. My mom spent 20ish years dancing ballet. She once told me that the idea that dancers are weak or fragile is a joke. Their strength and mental fortitude is on par with few. She was also trained in the Russian style so…
Anyway if you are looking for a plane to start. You may find barre helpful. It is a tupe of exercise which has it roots in ballet. It teaches, strength, flexibility and teaches you how to target movement to individual muscles. It will help build the body kinesthesia needed to move like that.
I know a dancer, who worked on a cruise ship. It was a running joke, in the communal canteen, how the smallest of them could put away twice what the big burley sailors could eat. They demolished food, yet kept their figures. What they didn’t see was the relentless rehearsals etc, that burnt it all away again.
Dancers are about as frail as a goods train!
