A-Z: General definitions: Can-can
Definition
The can-can was a lively high kicking dance that came into fashion about 1830 in Paris and after 1844 became an exhibition dance. It was usually performed by a group of young women who would show their legs, petticoats and underwear to an appreciative (usually male) audience.
