From her Facebook page:

Ginger O'Reilly is the very definition of femininity.

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

Ginger's grace, talent and breathtaking costumery combine to conjure the heady imagery of the Parisian experience.

Her luxurious revues are divided into several scenes over the evening whilst her audience enjoys a fine dining experience.

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.   Ginger's commanding performances are elegant, dynamic, entertaining and with a touch of comedy.

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.

For another Paradis Latin extravaganza from the same era 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.
