Oh la-la ladies luring Moscow
The legendary can-can dancers from the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris have spiced up their show to cook up a special program for their admirers in the Russian capital.
The long legged beauties have left the cabaret which has been their home for 120 years to give three performances in Moscow.
“As a rule, Moulin Rouge never goes on a tour in such big numbers. Thirty-five dancers is a big deal!
One of the girls is Russian-born Olga Khokhlova who has been with the Moulin Rouge for over five years. Olga spends 18 hours per day polishing her dancing skills with just one day off a week.
The Moulin Rouge shows are watched by six million people annually. A quarter of them turn out to be Russian.
So now Russians don’t have to trek to Paris to be treated to a special presentation featuring the best bits from the original shows.
The can-can dancers will have to change their seductive outfits up to six times every performance. A thousand lavish costumes have been created for their Russian tour.
