No, the dimmer switch needs its own individual circuit power supply to feed the fixtures connected to it. The black of the second dimmer switch can not be connected to the red wire of the first dimmer switch.

Now if you are talking about using a common "hot" to feed two dimmer switches then this can be done. The neutrals will be common also.

So what you should have is two black wires connected together with the incoming "hot".

Two neutrals connected together with the incoming white. The red from each dimmer is then connected to its own individual fixture load.

Can you put an AC dimmer switch on a low voltage 12 volt halogen light fixture?

Although a dimmer can be designed for 12 v halogen lamps it is more common for dimmers to work on higher voltages. Dimmers have to work into a resistive load so it is not usually possible to place the dimmer on the high-voltage side of the 12 v transformer that comes with the lights.
