Historical context
- A History of the French Cancan
It is the world famous dance that became synonymous with the heady days of the Belle Epoque, but the French Cancan still has the power to turn heads! - From Music Hall to Moulin Rouge: A History of the Cancan.A closer look at the history of the cancan and its various homes reveals a very different story, a pedigree more complex than the London jeremiads and the Parisian tourist brochures suggest.
- An Immorally Uplifting Experience...
The can-can is, of course, a dance. Like most immortal classic dances, including the waltz, the tango, the hokey-pokey and the Paris-sidewalk-before-the-pooper-scooper-law, it was not created all at once but developed gradually over many years.
