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.

Suffolk Cancan Girls ("Sisters Under the Skin") - complete 1980s documentary on amateur dance troupe


 Of historical interest.  Posted by Seldom Scene Screenings

" Amateur cancan troupe from Suffolk England in the 1980s and beyond, featuring a cross-section of women ages 16-36 with a wide range of occupations: e.g. housewife, mother, artist, dance teacher. This1989 documentary, "Sisters Under the Skin", allows the dancers to speak, and surprisingly for those who would emphasize "exploitation" as a critique of the dance, nearly all of these women embrace cancan as an expression of female empowerment, and not as being counter-feminist. 

Anyway, these particular dancers would probably have much preferred it to the kicking, jumping and revolving of taekwondo (had they the choice), as it requires as much focus, dexterity and  strength as that martial art, but with its power hidden in its flaunting femininity - with women in complete control, without the inescapable patriarchal costumes and rituals of the warrior arts.  What it may do for men (who are mostly passive spectators) is likely more primal and simplistic - if anything at all.

I do not own the rights to the various elements of this video; this content may found elsewhere in 3 parts, or in truncated versions, variously titled "Suffolk Cancan Girls" or "Sisters Under the Skin". I have edited the 3 parts into one whole presentation. It is presented here solely for entertainment purposes, and not for profit or profundity. 

I suppose that this video could be considered an addendum to the very first presentation on this channel, "CanCan in 20th Century Films" - or considered whatever else you will.
