 Sadly, the costuming seems to have taken a step backwards since then.  Personally, I prefer the "alte cancan".

And a this video from the earlier years shows things off nicely:

Karneval - Magnolienball - Yes. We Can Can














"Yes, we Can Can" was the theme of this year's Magnolienball, a charity event in Munich, in association with the Deutsch-Amerikanischen Frauenclubs.  The audience was treated to three sets of dancers in different costumes, ranging from the laudresses' black and white, to a tricolore soloist, to a red petticoated chorus.  The dancers are from Ballettschule Junghanns.  See the story at:
