The cancan is a dance that is thought to have originated in Algeria in the 1800s and became popular in Paris in the 1830s. The dance became a staple of the chorus line at the famous nightclub, the Moulin Rouge, with women in full dresses, tossing their skirts and doing an acrobatic routine incorporating high kicks, jump splits, cartwheels and the rond de jambe (quick rotary movement of lower leg with knee raised and skirt held up).
Jacques Offenbach wrote the music that is most commonly associated with the dance, "The Galop," from his Orpheus in the Underworld.
