"You never know where those dancing Balinaka will show up!"
―Fode[1]

A trio of Balinaka dancers performed on planet Tatooine[1] around 32 BBY.[2] Those Balinaka artists from the icy world of Garnib[3] danced at the podracers' hovel, performing a chorus-line routine on stage.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Balinaka were introduced as comical background characters in Star Wars: Anakin's Speedway, a children's video game released by Lucas Learning in 2000.[1] It was Maryn Roos, the Lead Artist on the project, who chose to include the bear-like beings into the game after discovering them in old West End Games material for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[4]
