Le Cancan Bijou at Dickens Fair 2011





Le Cancan Bijou in perfrmance at the 2011 Great Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco. This wonderful video was filmed by Robert Payes, aka Dixie Flatline, the Godfather of the online cancan community, during his recent pilgrimage to see their performance.

LCCB, as usual, gives a rousing performance that shows off the fun the dancers have in performing. To me that makes the performance. May they long perform, and may I someday be able to make the same trip to see them in action.

Multiply's size limits on uploads will not allow the posting of the full 1080p HD version of this video, so I had to post a low-res version. I highly recommend you view the original in HD on You Tube at:

Dixie was also able to capture a great collection of still photos at the Fair (not limited to LCCB), which he generously posted at Flickr and which can be seen at:

So, many thanks to Dixie and to LCCB for a very nice Christmas present to all of us

Cheers, Barbebleu
