    Visible from around 7 secs in and various points throughout the video. Really good look at them around :50

    I have enlarged a section, brightened it and sharpened it a bit:

    I think that this isn't necessary any more now that the OP's question
    has been answered. But no one is preventing you from proposing the
    creation of a new newsgroup ;-) ...

    Good luck!

    I tried that, (rec.audio.pcdaw), but it appears an almost insurmountable

    There are also shoes with a built-in wheel (as "part of the sole", so
    it´s *not* visible from above), as well.
    example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heelys
    So, it might be possible, that the dancers had such shoes AND those
    "shoe speakers" on top of them (mainly for the look in this case)...
