In 1896, Mademoiselle Eglantine's Troupe took center stage, showcasing their incredible talent and grace. The can can became a symbol of liberation for women during this era, breaking societal norms with its high kicks and exuberant movements. Jane Avril, another legendary figure from the Belle Époque period, enchanted spectators with her captivating performances in 1893. Her elegance and charisma brought a new dimension to the art dancing. The Clown-Dancer of the Moulin Rouge added a touch of humor to this lively dance style. With his playful antics and acrobatic skills, he entertained audiences while still maintaining the essence of the traditional can can. Even beyond Paris' borders, such as Harrogate or Lostwithiel in Cornwall, dancers continued to embrace the spirit of the can can.
