CanCan Dancers - French Pavillion

awesome! i never seen this dance in my life, is beautufil! Can Can! french style the Best*

Actually it starts with Brahms and it becomes Offenbach at about 2 minutes in.

i think you can find the entire medley under "hooked on cancan."

I read that they originally did this in Paris without panties. That's why it was such a big deal.

the prostitutes used to do it to umm advertise lmao

Whilst that did occur in later versions, it wasn't done in the originals; the reason it made such a big deal was that polite society in France at the time regarded the sight of even a woman's ankle as rare and somewhat scandalous. Then this dance comes along with women showing off far more than that.

There are several pieces of music conflated here, including Brahms Hungarian Dance No 2, Csardas by Ricardo Monti, and Offenbach's Can-Can from Gaité Parisienne, and others which I should know, but don't.

Oops, Vittorio Monti... Ricardo is the author.

love hungarian dance by brahms :) oh just love him for everything he wrote :)

ooooh fuck yeah really really good
