Have you seen "Moulin Rouge"?

Try to figure out pom-pom girls moving on Offenbach's music and you'll get the idea.

there is a downloadable very short video called "cancan at the Folies Bergeres, 1920".

Ashley,
I bet that once you'll KNOW what french cancan is, you'll ask for a change in your french language assignment, like maybe cooking frogs.
But if you actually produce a cancan show at the end of the tear, well, post us a video...
