An outstanding cancan troupe that's not seen often enough is
Can-Can-Kieselsteine. They're identified by their precision dancing, a
sequenced swirling flash as part of their routine and their rainbow
petticoats, red ruffled panties and stockings - an arresting sight.
Photographer Admiral von Schneyder has captured them in performance at a
dance festival with some spectacular photos:

The photos are a little grainy, but it's remarkable that he was able to
capture these performance photos without blurring, given the a distance
and the much less than ideal lighting conditions. Great work!

look like, including the swirl I mentioned:
