The can-can (also spelled cancan as in the original French /kɑ̃kɑ̃/) is a high-energy, physically demanding dance that became a popular music-hall dance in the 1840s, continuing in popularity in French cabaret to this day. [1] Originally danced by couples, it is now traditionally associated with a chorus line of female dancers. [2]
In the middle of the dance, the bal director walked between the couples with a bag and the dancers turned in a token. [2] In the 1930s, gypsy jazz, a rhythmic form of swing music, drew on musette styles. By 1945, the bal-musette became the most popular style of dance in France and its biggest stars were widely known across the country.
