The Girlie Show

Since DWTS (Dancing With The Stars) mentioned (judge) Inaba was one of the dancers in Madonna's "The Girlie Show, Live Down Under", I have wondered about 'which dancer' as well.
It certainly was NOT the one in green. The dancer not performing that number (fourth dancer) is also clearly not Inaba, (two eliminated). The dancer in yellow was the other of the three in that number, opposite Madonna16d0 and her two singer/dancers wearing tuxedos. The dancer in red was (IMO) the lead and stronger dancer in the show, including a handstand in another number.
So, my best guess is 'yes'.
I suppose you were being diplomatic in not asking the question about what you really wanted to know
At the end of the performance, the credits go on and on, and eventually list the eight dancers names in alphabetical order, four men, four women, and she is listed. Those credits give no other info about which dancer was the lead dancer, although one appeared to have most of the time closest to Madonna.
I don't remember which other Madonna performance it was, but that one had Madonna thank each of her dancers as they exited the stage. During this show, there was a 'mention' about rain that didn't happen during the show, so possibly the ending was a little rushed?
A little off topic in this thread
I had not remembered how short the women's hair was in "The Girlie Show". And Miley Cyrus got so much attention when she cut hers and colored it platinum (like Madonna's hair in this tour) I guess what is old is new again.
The guitar player, on the other hand, had hair so long that he certainly had to be careful to avoid sitting on his own hair.
P.S.
If you view this video performance, it is rated "R", and probably the reason it was not done in the USA -

Well, my previous answer was correct. I just had not read her bio before I posted. sigh
From her IMDB bio:
"Her next big gig was performing with Madonna, being featured as the "Pole Girl" on The Girlie Show tour. For this tour, Carrie Ann had to shave her head and also train with circus trainers and a stripper. "
I believe her hair had grown out at least an inch when the video was made, but all the women in it had very short hair, (or
VERY
tightly groomed).
One of the things she wore as the "Pole Girl" was a safety belt attached to a wire, to protect her if she fell off the pole, (yes, that means it was pretty tall). And her work was a large part of the "R" rating of the video. After seeing that excerpt from her bio, that much should be obvious.
