• The can-can is a high-energy, physically demanding dance that became a popular music-hall dance in the 1840s, continuing in popularity in French cabaret to this day. Many composers have written music for the can-can. The most famous music is French composer Jacques Offenbach’s Galop Infernal in his operetta Orphée aux Enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld) (1858)
