Suricate C would love to dance...

         My travel in time happens around the dance....

  In my first travel, I would like to go in 1889, more precisely on October, 6^th, 1889, at the opening of the Moulin Rouge as a Cancan dancer !

 

        I'm in love with Montmartre in this period with a bohemian life. 

This period shows a madness year more festive, spectacular and shows something new in Paris.

 Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler, the producers of Moulin Rouge cabaret, knew the public taste. 

Indeed, This period of peace was marked by the asian current. 

This cabaret shows many western decorations with a big elephant at the entrance of Moulin Rouge , gold etc... 

More impressive for this period !

 I love this very spectacular atmosphere. 

          I would just like to change something in this century. 

This is the role of the dancers in this world of boheme. 

Indeed, I'd remove the prostitution of this cabaret dancers, so that they can freely dance for the pleasure of dancing. 

And I would like to change too the nickname of dancers like «  La goulue » , « Grille d'égout » or « la Môme Fromage ».

      

            In my second travel, I would like to go in 1930's, to meet Fred Astaire. 

Fred Astaire is for me, A SYMBOL of the dance history. 

He was an American dancer, choregrapher, singer, musician and actor ( a perfect man for me ! ). 

Such a  career for 76 years ! 

He made 31 musical films. 

In  many films, we can see Ginger Rogers, a partner of Fred Astaire. 

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers was a famous duet of the years.

 I would like to take the place of Ginger Roger to dance with Fred Astaire and I would like to dance with Fred Astaire on his famous song « I won't dance » ( My favourite song of this man).

          I don't want to change anything in this period because it is the "Roaring Twenties" and it is a funny period.
