Cancan Dancing and
Flexibility
Bombshell
Betty Dance has teamed up with local dancing diva, Lauri Costigan, a
former choreographer and dancer for San Francisco’s own Le
Cancan Bijou, to present a Cancan Dancing and Flexibility Workshop.
Starting off with a ballet warmup specially modified for cancan
dancing, we will then progress into traditional cancan kicks and poses,
traveling steps and stationary moves, kick lines, petticoat
manipulation and the art of flirting.
