Yes. The original French spelling is cancan - without a hyphen. It first appeared in the working-class ballrooms of Montparnasse in Paris in around 1830. It was originally a dance for couples, who indulged in high kicks and other gestures with arms and legs. Throughout most of the 19th century the dance was also known as the chahut. Both of these names are french. Cancan means "tittle-tattle" or "scandal" whilst Chahut means "noise" or "uproar".
