Since its origins, it has embodied energy, celebration, and freedom. Of course, you can find it in all our revues, whatever the season, alongside our ultra-modern acts. And for lovers of authenticity, we even dance the traditional French Can-Can of the 1850s, in all its historical splendour.<\/p><p data-start=\"559\" data-end=\"642\">But do you truly know the history and secrets of this mythical dance?<\/p><h6 data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"527\"><strong data-start=\"480\" data-end=\"525\">Five key facts about the French Cancan<\/strong><\/h6><p data-start=\"529\" data-end=\"853\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 <strong data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"568\">A dance censored in its early days<\/strong><br data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"571\" \/>Appearing in Paris at the start of the 19th century, French Cancan was considered too provocative due to its acrobatic movements and exposed petticoats. It was even banned in some establishments before becoming one of the most popular spectacles in the cabaret world.<\/p><p data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1121\">2 <strong data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"889\">A real physical challenge<\/strong><br data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"892\" \/>Cancan dancers perform an average of 500 kicks per show, seamlessly incorporating splits, leaps, and lifts, all at a frenetic pace. This performance demands exceptional stamina and flexibility.<\/p><p data-start=\"1123\" data-end=\"1393\">3 <strong data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1159\">A song that has become iconic<\/strong><br data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1162\" \/>The most famous air from the French Cancan, Jacques Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld, was composed in 1858. Its fast, lively tempo makes it an essential element of the show, immediately recognisable around the world.<\/p><p data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1712\">4 <strong data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1444\">La Goulue, the first star of French Cancan<\/strong><br data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1447\" \/>Louise Weber, nicknamed La Goulue, was the first dancer to popularise the French Cancan at the Moulin Rouge in the late 19th century. Known for her audacity and charisma, she made her mark on cabaret history by imposing her style and personality on stage.<\/p><p data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"2029\">5 <strong data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1748\">Iconic costumes<\/strong><br data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1751\" \/>The French Cancan is inseparable from its flamboyant costumes: lace petticoats, fishnet stockings, frills and corsets. At the time, these garments were considered daring, reinforcing the dance's transgressive image. Today, they are a true symbol of cabaret.<\/p><p data-start=\"2031\" data-end=\"2169\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The French Cancan remains a highlight of our shows.
