Pre-Classic
This may not from the "classic" period as that term is used in this group, but it is such a delightful photo I am posting it anyway. I love the smile and the teasing pose that contrasts with the very demure high-necked dress..
This photos is from the Cancan Dancers Pinterest page of Lizzie L:

which features photos from the earlier era.
Lizzie L.'s caption for this photo reads.
"Cissy Fitzgerald (February 1, 1873 – May 5, 1941) was an English-American vaudeville actress, dancer and singer who appeared in numerous silent and sound movies."
