Located in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France, near Montmartre, the Moulin Rouge is a bar built in 1889 and belongs to Joseph Ole along with the Olympia De Paris. The Pigalle Red Light District is an 18th-century neighborhood on Krisch Avenue, famous for the imitation of red windmills on the roof.
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the war-torn people needed to find a place to relax, so bars and dance halls became the first choice of the people at that time. The Moulin Rouge was founded in 1889 and is world-famous for staging its famous French "Cancan".
The main feature of the night at the Moulin Rouge is the performance. The Moulin Rouge is world-famous for being the birthplace of traditional French cancan, and cannibal is still staged here today. Kang Kang survived for many years, but now the performers are the working class, and in the early Days, the prostitutes who served the nobles were first used to please male customers. The dance is usually performed individually, attracting potential guests through the exuberant energy and passion in the prostitute's steps. They frequently lifted skirts, showed off their thighs, underwear, panties, and occasionally genitals. Over time, the Moulin Rouge's kang kang became more vulgar and explicitly pornographic, causing a lot of public violence.
Soon, however, as entertainment in concert halls became increasingly popular in Europe, the Moulin Rouge no longer needed prostitutes and eventually became a legal nightclub. Modern concord is the preserve of dancers, and many of them are ballet dancers who need special skills. The Kang Kang dance we know today is directly derived from this, the reduction of vulgarity in dance, and the famous movement skills and acrobatic performances.
The Moulin Rouge largely faded the impression of an "upper class brothel" and soon became fashionable in French society – visiting and watching the fascinating cabaret, including the Kang Kang dance, which is still staged today. The dance is easily distinguishable from the long skirts and the long trimmed underwear of the actors, where high kicks, one-foot jumps within the ring, and the simultaneous lifting of the other leg into the air, cleavages, somersapers, and other acrobatic performances are all hallmarks of kangkang, often accompanied by long complaints and screams. As the prestige of this dance grows, its vulgarity becomes less and less. However, this kind of stage art sometimes tries to become a little unconventional, a little exciting, a little naughty.
Today, the Moulin Rouge's Kang Kang has an iconic place in the dance world world.
