The girl who is in the Wiggles in the black pointes is also in the Australian ballet. She's one of the first Aboriginal Australian dancers in the company-and the first Aboriginal Australian Wiggle!.

I had goosebumps after That performance where the ballerina was saved by her parter. Every muscle was aching and she pulled it off…so professional. Bravo

Actually, could you get those pointe-style heels and do a comparison between their construction and actual pointe shoes?! I think that would be really cool!

I know how much hard, hard work goes into ballet. And children at that age should not work hard. And if anyone comes now and tells me it's what they all want and it's not the parents whipping them through it to have their own ego and vanity satisfied: I know those parents. I know how little time those children have to be children. It's not cute and it's the opposite of wholesome.

@@inkenhafner7187 That's a fair criticism. I'll admit my perspective is skewed by my own experiences with dancing as a child, which were not in a studio or competitive context, so in my memory, it feels fun and joyful. That said, I agree, children shouldn't work hard, especially on shaping their bodies for exacting standards like there are in ballet. Thank you for your thoughts on this, I appreciate the different perspective.

All the things I have learned here that nobody ever told me when I danced (1953-1963) the knowledge of which might have kept me from so much pain and having to quit something I loved so much.

Evie Ferris from The Wiggles (Initially A Blue Wiggle, but now more comfortably The Yellow Wiggle - with traditional red and black stripes) seen dancing in a gorgeous yellow tutu and her trademark black pointe shoes is an incredibly talented and proud Taribelang and Djiabugay woman. She is 26 and has been a member of The Australian Ballet since she was 17, having previously attended The Australian Ballet School International Training Program from age 12, along with her sister Ella. Evie is creative in all aspects of the arts and is a huge advocate for the visibility and inclusion indigenous children and young people in ballet and the performing arts.

CLASSICAL MUSICIAN APPRECIATION COMMENT RIGHT HERE!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE MYSIC WE DANCE TO!!!!

Those ballet inspired heels are very cute! I've seen many variations from many different brands and they also come in flat from other brands (I have two pairs of the flat ones) and that's how you do a ballet inspired outfit without injuring yourself. I understand the appeal of balletcore aesthetically, in this way you're not risking your physical integrity or coming across as insulting to dancers.

3:46 as well as being a wiggle, evie is also actually in the corps of the australian ballet company :)

Josephine, after putting yourself through 20+ of these videos you deserve those shoes 👞 ❤

Couldn't say for sure, but the only story I can think of that would require such a dapper looking Donkey would be Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night Dream. Puck turns an annoying actor named Bottom into a donkey, and Queen Titania of the fairies is love potioned into falling in love with him. I checked, there is a ballet adaptation...so probably? But it could be something else.

When are you going to post fittings again? I miss those.

I had to laugh at the picking up keys one as I do the extreme dancer pick up, but I'm not a dancer, lol. I'm just a very flexible mid 40s woman that wanted to be a dancer as a kid but my mom told me that the teacher of the few classes I took at around 5 or 6 years old said I was as graceful as an elephant. 🤨 Thanks Mom for the confidence boost.

How are these teeny tiny dancers so good! Adorable 😄

I’ve never done ballet, I’m not even a dancer. But these are so funny I can’t stop watching them 😂

“Fairy Feet” lol that’s me with all my dance friends they have such tiny dainty fairy feet! 🤣😅 Josephine what do you think or Bloch European Balance?

I never ask to sit down, one time i looked so tired and sick my teacher was like, Sweetie, sit down.

Whoever was in the Donkey costume … they did an amazing job

The tiny dancer in the red tutu is ADVANCED!

ahhh i didn’t realize it was spencer rubin but when they started playing i realized lol 😂😂

I've got a spine injury which has affected my left leg. I'm not a dancer, but it really IS easier to bend down to pick up stuff from the floor on one leg with the other one stretched behind me 😅 Maybe not pointed at the ceiling, but I totally get what you mean.

Those incredibly talented little girls! The one in red was like a little butterfly or a fairy princess. Oh my gosh!

"In a British National Geographic accent" 😂😂😂 Perfection.

....I've done that kick up before. Its so less awkward and IDK how

The First Lady is me trying to figure out Bloch shoes.

The Donkey is most likely from A Midsummer Nigh'ts Dream. The role is played by a male dancer and they usually do go en pointe.

I've seen the Nutcracker twice. That is the limit of my ballet experience. I don't know why I love these videos but I do!!!

That Midsummer Night's Dream performance was delightful wow

Louboutin designed flats shoes which imitated pointes plateform. They are called Mamadrague.

0:47 the face of the girl got me dying😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The donkey is Bottom from Frederick Ashton's "The Dream", based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was one of, if not the first ballet in which a man dances on pointe.

Me dancing for you a few years and having point shoes and all that kind of fun stuff and both those little girls dancing better than me😂😅😂

The donkey is the character named Bottom from a A Midsummer Night's Dream. If you've never seen it.... it's so pretty to look at.. So dreamy. I think that costume is actually the one that the Royal uses.

About 5:52 the pointe horse tap dancing, this is originally from national ballet of Japan. The horse tap ballet dancer is Keigo Fukuda.

I remember seeing a video of the donkey mask dancer on the English Royal Ballet's channel a few years ago. It's the role of Bottom frrom A Midsummer Nights dream. Another role from the Royal Ballet that combines tap and ballet is the Mad Hatter from Alice In Wonderland originated by Steven McRae (the same production where the queen of hearts is in a massive wheel around heart)

3:18 I love her !!!
