About Us

Captivating the crowd, one high kick at a time. - Le Cancan Bijou

For over two decades, Le Cancan Bijou has delighted Northern California audiences with our high-energy Parisian-inspired performances. Donning colorful ensembles of fluffy petticoats and striped stockings, our charismatic dancers have become a cherished part of the Bay Area arts scene, gracing countless celebrations, parties, and events with our signature sparkle, sass, and joie de vivre.

In 2016, Le Cancan Bijou transformed into a community-focused non-profit organization, dedicated to preserving the vibrant, traditional French Cancan dance and sharing its timeless appeal with 21st-century audiences. Through a mix of classic choreography and modern attitude, the troupe is introducing a whole new generation to this beloved dance tradition.
