Dancing the Hitchy-Koo: A Forgotten Sensation of 1913 This image showcases the legendary French cabaret artist, Mistinguett, as she gracefully performs the Hitchy-Koo dance in 1913. The Hitchy-Koo was a nouvelle danse sensationelle, or new dance sensation, that aimed to challenge the dominance of the valse and tango on the dance floor. Mistinguett, born Jeanne Bourgeois, was a trailblazer in the world of entertainment. Known as the "Queen of the Moulin Rouge," she was a celebrated dancer, singer, and actress who captivated audiences with her charisma and talent. In this photograph, she exudes confidence and elegance as she executes the steps of the Hitchy-Koo dance. The Hitchy-Koo dance was a complex and intricate dance that required great skill and coordination. It was characterized by its quick, jerky movements and fluid spins, which set it apart from the more traditional valse and tango dances. Despite its innovative nature, the Hitchy-Koo dance failed to gain widespread popularity and ultimately did not take its place among the enduring dance sensations of the era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and artistry of the Hitchy-Koo dance and the remarkable talent of Mistinguett. It serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of dance and the importance of embracing new and innovative forms of expression.
