History: Throat-Punch Ballet is one of the students referred to as Eighties-Spawn.  These students have come about during use of Montages, and due to the nature of said montages, it's impossible to know where they really came from.  Sometimes they're dancers, other times they're backup singers, but in all cases they don't really know how to get home.  We didn't really know what else to do with him, and the Happyshine police don't typically like to handle mysterious appearances, so we made him a student.

Notes: Throat-Punch Ballet has expressed considerable interest in Glamomancy, but has shown a lack of compatibility as extreme as Taco Lightning's incredible compatibility.  I didn't see for myself, but I'm told that he had such a low compatibility rating that he made the genetic sampler reassemble itself after Taco Lighting caused it to explode.  This is impressive in its own way, but we're not really sure what it means.

Glamomancy aside, Throat-Punch Ballet has a considerable amount of talent with The Eighties Super Wizard Discipline*.  Such is his commitment to the discipline that he's gone so far as to wear sequinned clothing and keep his hair in a side-ponytail**.
*To be discussed next week.
**The council informed him*** that he didn't need to do this, but he has been undeterred.
***Forcefully

Use of The Eighties disciplines is not without risk and repercussion, however, and Throat-Punch Ballet has gotten in trouble because of this in the past.   One of the more recent incidents involving his overuse of star wipes getting him trapped in a low-budget employee orientation video in the local Happyshine Combination Groceries, Pet store, and Sewage Treatment Plant*.
*For all your grocery and pet supply needs!  Stay out of the back.

Last I heard, Throat-Punch Ballet had gotten himself trapped in the Tower Basement, which has made his retrieval difficult as no one knows where the Tower basement is.  Still.  I'm not sure if he's sent further communication regarding his situation because I only check my mail once a week, and it's not Friday yet.  Perhaps we'll find out soon!
