Im trying to find information about Ballerina Tornadoes to show to my son, but cant find anything? I just know that they had those in the movie twister. They are small tornadoes that circle around a bigger tornado..Is there such as thing? Do they have another name? where can i find info?

Well, yes. There are a couple terms you might like to look up- try "googling" them or look up the NOAA.
Multiple Vortex Tornadoes
Satellite Tornadoes (this is probably what you're looking for)
Twin Tornadoes... a fairly common occurance (often one will spin counter-clockwise, while the other spins clockwise!)

this is why one house can be left relatively unharmed and its neighbor can be destroyed
