Cancan was a more lively version of the galop. It's a dance in quick 2/4 time, which often featured as the final figure in the quadrille. Charles Mazurier, who was well known for his acrobatic performances, made a popular feature in Cancan, jump splits. The female dancers of the Second Empire and the fin-de-siècle developed the various cancan moves that were later incorporated by the choreographer Pierre Sandrini in the spectacular "French Cancan."
