Classic Cancan 2

About the Group

Greetings and welcome to Classic Cancan 2! This is a continuation of Classic Cancan (https://classiccancan.blogspot.com/), which has reached capacity for new photos, but which is still active. Please make all new posts here rather than at Classic Cancan. 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, Classic Cancan 2 is open to everybody with a genuine interest in the World's Greatest Dance. Please note, however, that Classic Cancan 2 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.

You have to admire the “can can do” spirit.

The Derriere Twins

From bigvintagebabesai at Deviant Art

"The Derriere twins scandalized even the more risque leaning elements of the Belle Epoque with their daring cancan act. They preformed the entire set with what the audience assumed were heavily padded bloomers, only to pull their comical looking undergarments at the last moment and reveal their enormous rears were 100% real. A shock so severe it sometimes caused grown men to faint."
