@bettyclogger Never happen. I've seen modern versions...awful! This dance is naughty but nice. People today don't know what that means.

Does anyone know if there is actually original footage anywhere of the can can being performed in the 19th c. early 20th?

Massine's choreography is absolutely up to date and modern. It's a fantastic work !

And it's from 1938 !!!! I love Massine!
