This oddity comes from a 70’s dance troupe called Ballet Zoom. It’s strange to think that anyone would try to pair disco with cats, but in this life, it takes all kinds.

I was graced with the magic and horror of Ballet Zoom thanks to @midnight, a Comedy Central show hosted by Chris Hardwick that I’ve recently become an ardent viewer of. I find this video to be so disturbing and unique and mind-boggling, that it sort of hurts my brain to try to make sense of it. Just watch the pretty colors and fresh dance moves, and let its funky grooves take you away.

And the cats. OH, THE CATS. I can’t.

If you feel sense must be made, Go Retro! posted the following info a couple years back:

Ballet Zoom was a Spanish disco dance troupe that was formed in 1973. From there, the history gets sketchy because most online sources found on them are in Spanish and don’t translate smoothly through Google. From what I could tell, they appeared regularly on a popular Spanish variety TV show called Ladies and Gentlemen, although they also released a single in 1977 and split up a year later. Several of its members then formed another group called Zoom.

Their vintage performances that I’ve found are everything that you would expect from a 70’s dance troupe: colorful, cheesy, bizarre and downright entertaining, and of course the male dancers dress and act just as goofy.

GoRetro! also described one of their videos as “Doctor Who on a bad acid trip.”

So let’s just go with that.
