I saw a troupe like this performing in Detroit once. I swore that they were on roller skates but since I was sitting at eye level to the stage, I once or twice saw their feet. They just take tiny little steps - incredible. The girls I saw also carried large shawls and did very intricate routines with them. I could watch something like this for hours.

Fascinating. They look so much like Russian dolls.
There must be some kind of hooped underskirt although it is hard to pick when they are close together.

Yes! I've seen that on You Tube. My son was a big Dr Who fan.These dancers were the inspiration for the Daleks. They were robot villains that rolled around on wheels, except they actually had someone inside using this technique.

I hope that image doesn't ruin re-runs for you. :tv:

Not at all. We're having reruns twice a week over here right now.
One station has Matt Smith with Amy Pond (she's just got married to Rory) and the other has Clara Oswald.
Very confusing if you haven't kept up with the series before.

The ones I watched with my son years ago were the ones with the guy in the big hat. I did enjoy those, but a big part of it was the shared experience. I do remember that his female partner was pretty cute though.

Tom Baker was The Doctor in the big hat and long scarf (knitted for him by Queen Victoria). He had a number of companions but I'm guessing that you are thinking of this one
My daughter loved watching Doctor Who and remains a devoted fan to this day.

Right. Leela. Coincidentally, I see while looking around, that a new Dr Who series is premiering. Enjoy!

Oh wow! That's a kick. You really are a fan. You're not just another pretty brain.:hatoff:
My apologies to SeaBreeze, I guess I inadvertently hijacked a great thread. Sorry.

No so much of a fan as my children. One found the pattern on the internet and demanded that I knit one. Before I was done I had to knit four.

Still great though. Well worth the effort, I'm sure. Eleanor was a knitter. Did a lot of sweaters for our kids and grandkids. I used to modify some of the designs for her. Can't throw her knitting basket away.
