Anyone else around in the early 50s US will remember Jackie Gleason's "Toast of the Town" show with the June Taylor Dancers.   Here a couple of them pose for the camera.  June Taylor to the left.

 A 1966 Soviet made-for-TV movie starring Lyudmila Kasatkina.  A brief but interesting cancan scene, particularly given the time and place.
