Cancaneuse
The flash! From a colorized postcard. The description says she's from the Moulin Rouge of the 1950s, but I don't think so.

Xoana
Remember the hoop skirt cancan by a quartet of Irish dancers some years ago?
Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.

Her Parisian Cabaret shows epitomise all of the glitz and glamour associated with a high class, professionally choreographed evening of sophisticated entertainment.

Ginger has created her floor show to suit a wide range of venues, events and clients and aims to create the sense of the beating heart of the Monmartre region in Paris where she honed her skills for many years in the infamous Moulin Rouge.
Ginger's revues are a champagne cocktail experience and mix of Parisian glamour with modern, uptempo twists that infuses laughter and humour to provide the ultimate experience in Parisian Cabaret.
Raise your glasses and come join the fun...
Ginger is elite in her field and this show perfectly illustrates her technique, her diversity and her delightful sense of humour and imagination.

Ginger trained at the highest level with English National Ballet. She’s a bespoke choreographer and entertainer; her costumes are exquisite and can be tailor-made to suit the theme of a specific event.

Can Can
Another vintage cancan, from the same You Tube poster. This time modesty prevails. Information as to the dancers, singer and venue is not given. Probably about the same vinatage as the prior video.

Champagner-Paradis Latin-3
Of historical interest - Paradis Latin
I would guess this dates from the late 70s or early 80s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Wd7XztGz0&t=480s
For another Paradis Latin extravaganza from the same era see:

For additional Paradis Latin videos from the same You Tube poster (sans cancan, but with showgirls aplenty) see:

Moscow Music Hall
A new video from the always spectacular Moscow Music Hall
This time the cancan dancers in their very distinctive costumes are joined by an auxiliary of Russian peasant clad dancers in short skirts who join in the fun.
The male dancers get in the way a bit, but not too much, and there is a curious out-of-context segment toward the end that may not amuse everyone.

Vaduva Vesela, de Frantz Lehar
A hands-on approach to the Merry Widow
The first 3:37 is skippable. Sans skirts after that, but at about 8:55 things get more interesting. Split skirts, but worth a watch.
