Cancan is a very emotional, fiery and spicy dance. It originated in France and for a long time was performed only in cabaret. The cancan is characterized by energetic movements at a fast pace. If you want to make life brighter and more emotional, then you should definitely master this dance.
Instructions
Step 1
Before performing the cancan, be sure to do a set of physical exercises to warm up the body. Pay special attention to the muscles of the legs and stretching, because the main elements of the dance are swings and twine. If you cannot boast of flexibility, then first do the bends forward, trying to reach the floor. Sitting with legs spread out to the sides, touch your chest alternately with the right and left knees. Keeping your back straight, lean forward and reach with your forehead to the floor.
Step 2
Use the elements characteristic of it in the cancan: kicks, jumps, flips over the head. During the presentation, it is customary for dancers to lift their skirts, exposing their beautiful legs and showing erotic lacy lingerie. The cancan ends with a double twine.
Step 3
It seems that only girls are dancing, but initially this is not the case. For about eight minutes, the dancers tease the audience with seductive black stockings and red garters, lifting their curvy skirts more and more. They throw their legs above their heads. This is followed by a short male party. One or two soloists dilute the girls by weighing them in spicy flip flops during the bending of the skirted dancers. A tall man can also hold a bowler hat at the level of his eyes, and the girls, one after the other in an aerial twine, with a swing, touch the headdress with the toes of their shoes.
Step 4
Find music for your dance. There are many cancan tunes. The piece should be fun, two-quarters in size. The most popular cancan music was composed by Offenbach, and traditionally everyone dances to it.
Step 5
Find a costume for the cancan. The skirt should be very fluffy, with ruffles and ruffles at the bottom. The more ruffles, the more piquant the hem will look when you lift it up. In dance, the skirt will almost always be at head level. You will periodically lower the frills and pick up again, so the petticoat needs to be attached to the hem, forming a single whole. Any bodysuit is suitable as a sweater, where you need to insert bones and breast cups.
Step 6
Dance shoes need to be chosen very carefully. A special complex model is made for real cankaners. To prevent the soles from slipping during pirouettes, a thin layer of rubber is glued to them. The heels are made thick and stable, beveled, of pigskin, but such that the dancers cannot hurt each other or catch their shoes on their clothes. Cancan shoes are very durable, but despite this, they are not enough for a long time. The heels simply split from the load.
Step 7
Prepare yourself emotionally for the dance. Nothing will revive the cancan like your inner playful and free state. Slender legs are important, but the dancers' charisma, enthusiasm and courage play an even greater role in the cancan. Otherwise, you will not be able to ignite the crowd.
