Description The Chooky Dancers became international stars when their version of Zorba The Greek received more than two million hits on YouTube in 2007. Dressed in traditional costumes and ochre, they fuse Aboriginal and contemporary dance, comedy and clowning around into a rollicking good time. These guys put their special Elcho Island spin on all forms of dance, bringing a smile to every face in the audience.
