'Gaite Parisienne' - Bolshoi

A new production of Gaite Parisienne from the Bolshoi.  Could have been a lot better if the $^!&#^*!ing cameraman hadn't focused all his attention on the clown in pink.

Russian 1

I found several very nice videos featuring Russian dancers in the archives.  I don't have the original links to them and so am re-posting them.  

This troupe is familiar, and I will supplement this with the name when I can locate it.  This is a live studio recording from a talk show, and the setting leaves a lot to be desired.  But the show and costumes are first rate.

Update:

The troupe is:

Шоу-балет ЛАВИНА (Lavina)

"CAN-CAN" WITH PATTI LUPONE

She performed in a 2004 production of the musical.  This appears to be from a separate concert.  For those who want to skip ahead, the cancan starts at 3:55.

Les Folies Rouge

In today's "Flatline falls down a rabbit hole:"


Meet "Shottsea" (@dancy_doodles on Instagram), who performs as "Saoisette Belvedere" in the can-can troupe @lesfoliesrouge, who also have a Facebook page.

They, in turn, are regular performers at the Riverside (CA) Dickens Festival (a bit south-east of LA, which makes them the warm-weather SoCal version of our beloved Great Dickens Xmas Fair

Whew. 

Which is a long-winded way of saying "lots of pictures to be viewed, in lots of different places."

(I'm pooped...)

Канкан, исполненный не участниками, но тоже с конкурса Краса ЧЭАЗ

 
A nice video from a Russian source. Needs to be seen at the link below. 
 
 
I've been exploring a Russian video site (ok,ru) based an outgrowth of a tip from Mythology000.  I'll be posting a few videos and links that I don't think have been seen here before.

A lovely bit of whimsy from Margateaux of Monika Knap's Show Cancan dance troupe. Her @mgxdance Instagram account features more of her costume design/Disneyland tendencies.
