Madame Gigi's - an old favorite troupe based in Dayton, Ohio
"After the requisite hazing of Phil, the emcee, the Cancan dancers
entertain the crowd with their newest dance. Video taken by Videography
by Tony, Cincinnati, Ohio"
Madame Gigi's dancers perform in connection with the Dayton Liederkranz Festival. There have been some changes in the cast and costumes, but the show goes on.
"These high kicking beauties will be performing nightly at King's Island Grand Carnival June 15-July 7!! That's 92 shows in 23 days! We hope you can make one"
Kabaret Madame Quatro of Brest, Belarus, sports some very nice classic style costumes in these photos. (You remember Brest-Litovsk from history class don't you?)
And there are a couple of even nicer videos to go with them.
"The most atmospheric institution of Brest is the restaurant of the cabaret "Madam Quatro".
An energetic cancan, a magnificent burlesque, and a delicious cuisine that will please you with thematic, seasonal dishes.
Creating its own establishment, we drew inspiration from such famous cabarets as Moulin Rouge from Red Light Street, Arthur Yuryan's Mirilmont, and Underbrettl by Baron Erich Ludwig von Wolzogen.
Come and you!

Here's a performance from 2014 in which they have on their older and, in my opinion better, costumes on. Now, if they would combine these with some stockings, the visuals would be much better.
The performance may not be Broadway quality, but how many are? Overall I think it's pretty darn good and very entertaining. The ladies are having fun performing, and I enjoy watching them. I think that's what it is about. We aren't blessed with all that many cancan troupes in this country, and Madame Gigi's has been and still is a much appreciated asset to our community.
That said, I think we should feel free to comment and offer constructive criticism on the quality of dancing, originality of the performance, costuming, production values, etc., but I also think we should refrain from commenting on the physical attributes of the dancers. Not everyone can be a fashion model.
I applaud all the ladies who take the time and effort to put on performances for us. I don't think we should discourage any of them.
Video from the 2016 performance at Milwaukee's Bastille Day by Madame Gigi's Outrageous French Cancan Dancers. They seem to have settled on the gigantic black bloomers as their standard garb. Cute perhaps, but needs a rethink.

A long performance by Dayton's finest - a long-time Club CCD favorite. You can skip through the guys and the mimes in the middle and just enjoy the ladies' performance at the beginning and at the end if you wish.
