What is Cancan?
Cancan is a dance in 2/4 of the time, which came in France around the age of 1930. Over the years, it has evolved from dancing to the Hall for Couples to the Music Act, which carried out the choir series of female dancers. Today, Cancan is associated with the style of cabarets from 90 years, such as Moulin Rouge. Cancan Dancers usually wear full skirts with petticoats, high -heeled shoes and black stockings. Dance is traditionally performed at Galop Infernal by Jacques Offenbach's Orpheus in the underworld .
Cancan is characterized by acrobatic and provocative leg movements, such as a tall kick and ronde de jambe rise. The name of the dance is translated as "scandal" or "Tittle-Tattle". In its original form, Cancan could be described as a rapid Galop. For the first time it danced couples in the working -class dance halls.
Professional Cancan artists began to appear in the 40s of the 20th century. There were several maleH artists of dance, but many other women and by the end of the century became exclusively associated with artists. In addition, some Canncan dancers from the 90s became highly paid celebrities, while in the first days of dance artists were semi -professional, part -time music events, many of which were courtes. La Goule and Jane Avril of Moulin Rouge, immortalized by artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautre, were among the most famous Cancan dancers for 90 years. Today they helped to develop many steps that are the basis of dance form.
After the turn of the 20th century, Canncan underwent another change and became a highly choreographic number for the choir line. This Cancan style was created overseas in the UK and the United States, but French dancers soon carried out it for tourists. Moulin Rouge, who introduced the stars of the solo at the age of 90, was home to Chorus Line in the 1920s.
