Australia’s got talent 2008 talent audition show 3 These non-english islanders, from Arnhem Land, chooky dancers, have travelled to perform for the judges in Melbourne Australia. Dancing a modernised Yolngu version of the classic dance from Zorba the Greek. The Chooky Dancers, from Elcho Island are a group of barefooted Aboriginal men wearing skirts and tradidional ceremonial white body paint. In the past, this dance has only ever been performed in Arnhemland, a vast Aboriginal owned region of northern Australia. Bored with perofrming on their small island at indigenous dance festivals, they decided to improve and modernize their act. Someone happened to film them and post it on youtube, very quickly it became a hit with almost a million views. Fame then sky-rocketed further after starring on Seven Network’s Australia’s got Talent. Invitations are now flooding in from around the world. A possible first destination is Greece, not to mention many more, they are becoming quite popular and famous, even making headlines in European newspapers. This Yolngu style Zorba goes indigenous act made it through to semi-finals, watch Australia’s got Talent, Tuesday evenings, 7:30 on Seven. Native dancers, chooky dancer audition 2008.

@vizestroowash – Maybe not to a kuwaiti, if I may explain the dancers are Australian Aborigines and everyone expected a traditional corroboree (aboriginal dance) but no-one expected Zorba’s Greek dance, it is as strange to us as you being a donkey, we did not expect it.

Best dance
that must have been the gayest, lamest and least entertaining shit dance ever performed.
You have to appreciate the extraordinary talent aborigines have, the men are the dancers, not the women, eg. corroborees, also aborigines have extremely fast reflexes and physical sporting skills unlike any other peoples, so you need to watch their actions carefully to appreciate their abilities, this shows they have a sense of humour also.
