| Added by bernard-dewagtere, 09 Aug 2010 The can-can (more correctly not hyphenated, as in the original French: cancan) is regarded today primarily as a physically demanding music hall dance, performed by a chorus line of female dancers who wear costumes with long skirts, petticoats, and black stockings, that hearkens back to the fashions of the 1890s. The main features of the dance are the lifting up and manipulation of the skirts, with high kicking and suggestive, provocative body movements. The Galop from Jacques Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld is the tune most associated with the can-can. (Wikipedia) Sheet central : | Orphée aux enfers (23 sheet music) | | |||
