La Viuda Alegre



Teatro Teresa Carreño of Caracas, Venezuela does The  Merry Widow in a 2007 production, with a nice Maxim's scene.  I wasn't able to find any photos.

Black & White


 








Their cancan costumes belie the group's name, Black & White.  The photos are from an annual party. Last year they imported some cancan talent as can be seen in the Club CCD gallery cited below, but DIY can be just as good.  Let's hope it's an annual tradition now.

Light the Torch - Pochodeň Unhošť 2017






 





 



 








The ladies of the Pochoden (Torch) social club of Unhošť in the Czech Republic do a creditable amateur cancan. At the end, the ladies spell things out for us.  I'm not sure what "solet" means.  The wayward "H" dancer seems to have lost her way in the royal flash line-up, but reappears in the penultimate photo to redeem herself.

Back to Basics



Nothing fancy here from a dancing or costuming perspective, but a pleasing low key performance nonetheless.  The dancers are not identified.

Les reines du Cancan

...just posted some fab new photos on Facebook!







If you're a "costume traditionalist" (guilty!), these outfits are hard to beat.

(Thanks to "CANCAN!" author David Price for spotting these gems.)

Patti Colombo Choreographer - Can Can - The Quadrille



Here's a set of three videos that show the great work of Patti Colombo, the choregrapher for the Papermill Playhouse's production of "Can-Can" a few years ago. From what I have seen this is one of the best productions of the venerable musical and rivals Chita Rivera's touring company production of the 1980s. The dance sequences are great, and the back-of-the-hall perspective show off the full range off the on-stage action.  A fourth video will give some closer looks.

This first video is of the "Quadrille" number, which, as staged and costumed here, is almost as good from a cancan perspective as the later sequences.
