CCD's Classic Cancan Archive. Black and White Cancan Photography from the Golden Age. This specialist gallery brings together the spellbinding work of professional photographers who documented the Cancan during its glory days; from the early thirties through to the late 1960s.
Owned and operated by the online cancan community, Classic Cancan is open to everybody with a genuine interest in the World's Greatest Dance. Please note, however, that Classic Cancan is a G-Rated group, so please don't post anything objectionable. While the content of this site may be described as slightly 'risque,' this is not an adult community in any sense of the word, and anything deemed inappropriate will be deleted immediately

This is a continuation of the Multiply group of the same name. That site is going dark on December 1 due to a decision by Multiply to discontinue its blogs and groups.
We encourage everyone who was a member of the Multiply Classic Cancan group to become a member (Author) here too, so that you can fully participate in the site.
The Group is set up as a public group. That means anyone can see it by typing in the URL. However, to post or comment you need to be added as an Author. That has to be done by invitation, and there isn't a feature on the Blog for you to ask to be added as a Author. Unfortunately, Multiply doesn't seem to allow mass mailings of invitations to members of the old group and doesn't give email addresses from which the invitations can be generated. However, if you are a member of Cancan Favorites or one of the other Yahoo cancan groups (and if you did not hide your email address there), you have already received an invitation to join the new Club CCD at your email address of record. If you responded to that invitation, you will also receve an invitation to join the new Cancan Classics. Otherwise, to join the new group and post, you will need to send an email to Barbebleu's email address at Yahoo (barbebleu2006). You will then receive an invitation by email (check your spam/junk folder if you dodn't see it your inblox). Follow the instructions in the invitation to join. You will have to register with Google (which owns Blogger) to do so, but many of you are probably already registered with them.
We have tried to preserve the features of the Multiply group, but the format is very different. The main page is a blog with consecutive entries. The blog posts can have photos or videos in them, but that would not be convenient from the standpoint of accessing all the photos, videos or other features. To accommodate that we have set up the Pages listed on the right hand side of the Blog. Clicking on the links for them will take you to pages for the subjects listed.
Only administrators will be able to edit or add to those pages and the related albums, but we will try to copy over to the albums the photos and videos that are posted in messages.
We are still learning about Blogger and tweaking the site, so there will likely be some changes. For example, there has not been sufficient time to copy over the descriptions of the pictures. Also, we used the migration tool that Multiply provided. Most of the postings appear to have come over alright, but it is possible that some of them did not make it here. We will try to do some cleanup here as time permits.
We'll look forward to your participation.
