"The Twelve Dancing Princesses" (or "The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes" or "The Shoes that were Danced to Pieces") (German: Die zertanzten Schuhe) is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm and published in Grimm's Fairy Tales in 1815 (KHM 133).[1] It is of Aarne-Thompson type 306.[1]

Charles Deulin collected another, French version in his Contes du Roi Cambrinus (1874), which he credited to the Grimm version.[2] Alexander Afanasyev collected two Russian variants, entitled "The Night Dances", in his Narodnye russkie skazki.[3]

Its closest analogue is the Scottish Kate Crackernuts, where it is a prince who is obliged to dance every night.[citation needed]
