Wiggledancing! Live On Stage

Wiggledancing! Live On Stage (dubbed by fans as **The Wiggles' DANCE! Tour**) is a Wiggles live Tour from 2006.

The first leg of the Tour began on July 28, in Birmingham, AL, and finished on August 27 in North Charleston, South Carolina. It is one of the Tours where Sam frequently filled in for Greg and the last before he took over as the Yellow Wiggle. This was also the last USA Tour that Greg performed in until The Celebration Tour! in 2012. Greg's final performances at the time was the shows on August 19-20, 2006 in Philadelphia, PA. On the Morning of August 22 before two scheduled Performances in Kingston, Rhode Island, Greg fainted during the meet and greet before the first Show was performed and was treated at a Hospital for dehydration, so Sam had to quickly put on the Yellow Skivvy and fill in for him for both Shows. The next day, before another two Performances in Washington, D.C, they let Greg have a rest after his Hospital Visit so they filmed a Segment with him explaining his absence before collapsing again after filming it, he then returned Home to Australia to have more tests done.

The second leg of the Tour took place primarily on the East Coast (with some early November shows taking place in Canada) and began on October 20, 2006, at University Park (more commonly known as Penn State), PA, and finished on November 21, 2006, in Sunrise, Florida. Because Greg Page was told by his doctors in Australia to not tour overseas due to his condition (Orthostatic Intolerance), Sam Moran filled in during the leg as the Yellow Wiggle. Greg subsequently announced his first retirement a few days after the Tour's completion on November 30, 2006, which was also the Day when the Racing to the Rainbow Show began in Australia.

## Trivia

* This is the first-ever Concert where songs Hello, We're The Wiggles and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star were sung.
	+ Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and Hello, We're The Wiggles were only sung on August 19-20, respectively, by Greg, the latter date being Greg's final show of the 2000s. On both August 22 & 23, Greg collapsed before the shows were performed, and returned to Australia to recover. This means that there were the only rarest times were that Greg sang "Hello, We're The Wiggles. Greg would sing Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star in "Celebration". It is unknown, but very likely that the group recorded a version of "Hello, We're The Wiggles" for the original version of Wiggle and Learn or for Getting Strong.
	+ By contrast, this is the only show where Sam sang Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?)
	+ This is the last ever Concert where songs Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles! and Sailing Around The World were sung.
* The stage in the second leg of the Tour is nearly identical to the one used in the first, but with a few differences: the giant "DANCE" inflatable has been replaced with a video screen that shows the group on stage, along with animation to correspond with any given song.
	+ The Balloons hanging from the ceiling were also removed around the time of the second leg.
* During the Three Ducks skits, Greg was the Presenter, but during the times where Sam filled in for Greg, Anthony was the presenter, who then presented the skit in Racing to the Rainbow Show, Getting Strong!, Wiggle and Learn and Sing a Song of Wiggles.
* This was The Wiggles' last tour they performed at Madison Square Garden. Since then, they've continued to perform at smaller venues around the New York area.
* This is the second concert where Greg collapsed. First, it was The Wiggles Asia Tour. Third, would be The Original Wiggles Reunion Show For Bush Fire Relief.
* The Wiggles toured only in the midwest, northeast and southern US unlike the last tour, where they also hit the west coast.
* Greg collapsed on August 22nd, 2006 and had to be rushed to a hospital because of dehydration.
* The Columbus, OH Nationwide Arena show was performed until the same day as the Wiggledancing! Live In The U.S.A. DVD was released.
* Greg played acoustic guitar during Joannie Works With One Hammer. During the shows where Sam filled in for him, Anthony and Murray would play the song from scratch on acoustic and bass guitar respectively.
