Шоу Балет

Some nice costumes, but way too much involvement of the male dancers.  So-so routine.  The troupe is not named.

Les Nuits de Montmartre

Is anyone familiar with this film?  Looks like it has lots of promise.

Le Cancan Bijou - History (Repeating Itself)

While on Facebook today, I got a notice that Le Cancan Bijou had posted this vintage shot of the Dickens Fair's resident cancan troupe from 31 (!) years ago.

Not to be outdone, current member Cybele Baker responded with a 2004/5 image of LCCB vamping it up with a member of the Royal Guard:

(FYI that's Cybele second from left, with Barbara Pond and founder Monique Woodruff flanking said guardsman.)

Wait a tic.  Where have I seen a similar sepia-tinted shot of Bijou before?

(facepalm) That's right - I shot one myself back in 2013! [grin]

And it's currently the profile pic on their Facebook page:

Histrionics

It was fun while it lasted.  Unfortunately, the Port Townsend Washington Vaudeville show staged by the Histrionic Club seems to have gone dark, with the last facebook post being from 2013.  It seems to have had a ten year run, and the video is from 2009.  The photos and video are a little blurry, but indicate how much fun the show must have been.  A nice routine for the flash fans and those who like costuming originality.

The Merry Widow - Zurich

A production of The Merry Widow at the Zurich Opera House.  The grisettes are too modestly attired, but the video itself is nice and sharp.  English subtitles get in the way.

I'm posting this today since I am not sure how long it will remain up at You Tube.

French Cancan e Cabaret

The costumes could be better, but this is a nice close-up video of a performance at an  event in Milan called "L' Artigiano in Fiera" - French Cancan e Cabaret.  The dancers are not identified.  Video by Fabio Barbalini.

Sebuzinsky Ball

A Czech ball, enlivened by these cancan dancers.  The costumes look familiar, but I don't remember the group's name.  Too bad about the plain black.
