Welcome

Greetings and welcome to CLUB CCD 2! This is a continuation of Club CCD (https://clubccd.blogspot.com/), which has reached capacity for new photos, but which is still active. Please make all new posts here rather than at Club CCD. The main discussion site, where most people post, is CancanGroup.io (https://groups.io/g/CancanGroup). Please go there for daily text postings. These are sites for the discussion and appreciation of the Cancan in all its forms, from its genesis in Paris during La Belle Epoche, to its appearance in London, San Francisco and The Old West. Owned and operated by the online cancan community, CCD2 is open to everybody with a genuine interest in the World's Greatest Dance. Please note, however, that CCD2 is a G-Rated group, so please don't post anything objectionable. While the content of this site may be described as slightly 'risque,' this is not an adult community in any sense of the word, and anything deemed inappropriate will be deleted immediately.

Gaite Parisienne' (2) - Bolshoi

A very nice performance by the Bolshoi.  The video starts about 02:39 -  the actual cancan is at 30:00, but there is plenty to see before that.  It's a shame that the entire cancan sequence was filmed to show the whole stage without any close-up vignettes.

Description of the video:

"Another version of 'Gaite Parisienne', a one-act ballet to music by Offenbach, arranged by Manuel Rosenthal.   Choreography by Leonide Massine and Etienne de Beaumont.   The ballet is set in Grand Cafe Tortoni in Paris.   

 
The Baron - Artem Shpilevsky, The Glove Seller - Marianna Ryzhkina, with Denis Medvedev as The Peruvian, who arrives on the scene carrying two carpetbags full of jewellery.   He bounds onto the stage with lively staccato movements which perfectly express the high spirits of the ebullient salesman.   With artists of the Bolshoi Ballet."
