EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Parisian Can Can dancer in the midst of an exhilarating performance, executing the iconic "Patte en L'air" move (Feet in the Air) in a bustling music hall. Dated back to 1905, this daring entertainer dons a frilly, low-cut blouse and a pair of bloomers, embodying the risqué allure of the cabaret scene. With a mischievous grin and a twinkle in her eye, she gracefully lifts one leg high into the air, balancing delicately on the other, as the audience watches in awe. The Can Can dance, with its infectious rhythm and energetic kicks, was a popular form of entertainment during the Belle Époque era in France, often associated with the bohemian spirit and the joie de vivre of Parisian nightlife. The dancer's high kicks and provocative movements were considered scandalous at the time, adding to the excitement and allure of the show. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of dance and entertainment, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring appeal of the Can Can dance.
