Whoops of excitement and high powered energy hit the audience from the second the curtain goes up and they are soon infected by the scale of entertainment on offer. World-class skirt rufflers and high-kickers dance in unison with such enthusiasm throughout the Moulin Rouge show it is hard not to be won over by their timing, athletic skill and dramatic power. Founded in 1889 as a somewhat bawdy club where the dancers would have the sole aim of seducing potential clients in what was known to be a high-class brothel. However, this soon progressed into a more respectable establishment at the turn of the last century and became known as a hot house for the most talented dancers in Pairs. These performers with almost Olympic stamina and physical strength took the can-can from being a vulgar excuse for flashing flesh to a highly skilled and entertaining art form which quickly spread across the globe. .

Nowadays, years of planning go into each show, and a new one is set to be unleashed in 2012. The current spectacle, the Feerie Show, contains 69 songs and makes incredible use of over 100 artists, including the peerless Doriss girls, acrobats, magicians and clowns. The Moulin Rouge show never fails to astound and surprise, and although the new show is set to be even more spectacular than the current one it seems they have their work cut out. Of all the techniques used by the Moulin Rouge to ensure the shocking nature of the show the most outrageous has to be a giant, snake-filled aquarium onstage in which daring dancers perform and keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Evenings at the world famous cabaret of Paris, the Moulin Rouge, can be combined with a three course meal with drinks included. Fine French food is served with a choice of either the Toulouse Lautrec or the French Cancan menus. Treat yourself to an evening at the most popular cabaret in the world.
