This week I am joined by the tantalizing trio: M\\xe8nage A Rouge. A burlesque troupe featuring red hot routines from Belle De Beauvioir, Roxy Van Plume and Sebastian Angelique! Today me and the squad talk about masculinity and femininity, the art of parody and The Can-Can! You can find me on instagram @locqueslaroux and M\\xe8nage A Rouge @menagearouge

Masculinity 101: The Can-Can began appearing in the 1830s-40s in working class ballrooms in France. It was mostly danced by men but women soon joined in. There was an all-male dance troupe in the mid-19th century; the Quadrille des Clodoches. Their act was a parody of the stately quadrille in which four men, two dressed as women, dance an outrageously exuberant version of the dance.
