No Name Cancan 1992



Posted for historical interest.  This blurry video is of the dancers at No Name City, a now-closed western theme park in Poing, a town near Munich.

Fans have revived it in an annual Spirit of No Name City festival.  Several groups, including the Wild West Girls, have done notable perfomances there, as can be seen in the link to prior posts below.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any good photos of the Wild West Girls for the 2016 festival, but there are these two group shots:

Кан Кан, Шоу балет



A nice show by a Russian troupe.  I should be able to recall the name, but it escapes me at the moment.

Кан кан. Вечірня шоу програма в Домі Павлових. Одеса



Things were going splendidly until the male dancers arrived.  Still, there is a very nice flash toward the end.

I wasn't able to locate a site for the troupe, which may be named Вечірня шоу програма.

Don't Rock the Boat



MSC comes through again, this time on the ship Splendida.   This cruise line in particular seems to put on some very nice shows - see the link below for other examples.

"ВЕСЕЛАЯ ВДОВА" театр МУЗ.КОМЕДИИ ХАРЬКОВ



A production of The Merry Widow by the Musical Comedy Theater of Kharkiv in Ukraine.  The cancan starts at: 2:00:10, and there is a nice curtain call at 2:15:17.

A good show, somewhat diminished by the presence of the male dancers and some inconsistent lighting. There are a couple of French maids thrown in for good measure.
