Cancan is a French word and is described as meaning a scandalous dance. The French dance halls in Paris were the most famous for finding a woman dance as a french can can dancer. The can can dance is very demanding and takes a lot of physical dance endurance. The can can dance is performed in a 2/4 time signature. When this dance was first introduced it was performed by both men and woman.
The can can dance routine was performed on dance floors by individuals. But over time this dance transformed to being performed on stage by groups of women. Woman danced this highly boisterous choreographed routine in a chorus line type fashion. The high kick was one of the main moves followed by gestures with the arms. A cancan dancer also showed some very provocative moves such as rotating her lower leg while raising her knee and holding up her skirt. Also, a very common move to their dance routine is making a high kick by grasping her ankle of one leg extending it almost vertically while turning on the other leg.

The french cancan dance was derived in the 1920′s to be performed at the cabaret called the Moulin Rouge. The cancan dance consisted of all women dressed in frilled dresses, a garter and wore black stockings. Their dance routine was popular for its high splitts. But often a Moulin Rouge dancer was ridiculed for their flashy style of swinging their dresses up and down uncovering their fancy and lacy underskirts.

I just watched “Moulin Rouge” again the other day. I really enjoy a good love story.
Wow! It doesn’t get any sexier than the moulin rouge little dresses. Scandalous is right, those girls were way ahead of their time… But everyone loved it, and the world was ready for that kind of excitement…
Interesting information about the can can. I am not sure if you would refer to it as scandalous today. Things have definitely changed in 80 years.
This is a great idea for Halloween.
These are some great costumes ideas and are very sexy. I also enjoyed reading about how the CanCan came about. I had no idea that when the dance was first introduced, that men performed it also.
Yes, we have certainly moved on since the can can was considered scandalous. Be careful where you go in Pigalle these days, the dancing in some the establishments will make your eyes pop out.
I like the CanCan and Saloon Girl costumes. Brings back memories of “Gun Smoke” and “Maverick”. These are great sexy Halloween costumes for women. I’m just thinking who you could pair with to be a couples costume maybe James Garner?
The concept is good but a good and nice looking purple handbag suites anything. Every woman needs a handbag that will suite there everyday outfit. So why think of anything just grab the purple handbag.
I simply love sexy costumes, especially for big girls. I particularly like the Burlesque Babe costume. I’ll need to add this to my list.
I watched Moulin Rouge and I can say that definitely they have the sexiest costumes ever.Surely, adventurous women would love to try to dress up like one of the dancers or to be as beautiful and sexy as Nicole Kidman..
