The Sharon Thompson dancers perform a Cancan The Tivoli Club

Discovered and posted by Le Flatline at Cancan Dancing (Facebook), this performance has it all. A great video!

I note that the original poster at You Tube was "TI SA". Is that you Tom?

Dollies of the Follies

"Two of the original Lovell can-can dancers – Deanna Wagner, left, and Arlene Sessions (now Ross, right) perform their olio to the song “Can Can” during the 1965 western melodrama staged by the Lovell Woman’s Club. The can-can dancers became a regular act and were later named the Dollies of the Follies."

From Lovell, Wyoming
