The story goes that the beginnings of burlesque stripping began in Paris, one evening in 1894<\/strong>, with a bizarre performance at the Concert Lisbonne, now the Divan du Monde<\/strong> on rue des Martyrs.
\nA Blanche Cavalli<\/strong> woman performs a striptease, removing her clothes one by one, as if to go to bed, and ends up completely naked – the likes of which had never been seen before<\/strong>! The show was all the rage, but torn between success and scandal, the venue remained closed for a year.<\/p>\n

\nThis was followed by a new kind of<\/strong> act at the “Folies Berg\u00e8res”<\/strong> with the triumph of American artist Loie Fuller, famous for the veils she twirled <\/strong>in her choreography, which she called “Danse serpentine” <\/strong>. A pioneer of a new kind of dance, she dispensed with the corset and embodied a new freedom. This internationally-renowned artist went on to inspire many burlesque artists, including today’s British Vicky Butterfly.
\nThe <\/strong>2016 film “La danseuse <\/strong>“, directed by St\u00e9phanie Di Giusto<\/strong> and starring actress Soko<\/strong>, tells her story.<\/p>\n

Just a stone’s throw from the rue des Martyrs, the Moulin<\/strong> Rouge is a phenomenal success, with its famous “French Cancan<\/strong>“, screams, big splits, jet\u00e9s-battus and petticoat throws, attracting more and more enthusiasts. An exuberant, provocative<\/strong> dance, to the tune of Offenbach’s “Galop infernal”, later renamed French Cancan.
\nThese dancers were pioneers in a society where women’s emancipation was very difficult, as it was often linked to a lack of financial independence. For the first time, there was a revolution: cancan dancers earned more than dancers.<\/p>\n
