Cancan in heels


This is from the photo collection of an unnamed dancer and is currently offered on EBay at:

It looks like some backstage hi-jinks.  I'm not sure any serious dancing would have been likely in the high heels she is wearing, but who knows.   There is the old line about Ginger Rogers being able to do everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in heels.

Her long legs and the position of her kick remind me a little of the poster for the 1952 Moulin Rouge film:
