From Parisian dance halls to western saloons

The cancan is a lively dance from nineteenth-century Parisian dance halls, known for high kicks and the swirling of wide skirts full of ruffles. In western films, the dancer returned to the saloon, wearing a laced bodice and a skirt with ruffles. It is precisely that striped ruffle that makes the skirt perfect for dancing: the more you move, the more red you show.

Make your saloon look stand out

Pull your hair up into a high updo and place the headpiece diagonally on top, just as saloon dancers wore their hair. Tall black boots or heeled pumps suit the length of the skirt, and black fishnet tights complete the cancan look. Boots and tights are not included. If you are going with a partner, a cowboy hat and vest for him will make the western scene instantly recognizable.

Order the cancan dress in your size and dance along at the western party as a saloon dancer.
