Out of the two, I'd go for the Elton John, but only because I hate the Boyzone song! I learned Rhumba to 'Take My Breath Away' from the Top Gun soundtrack and it worked really well - a third option for you, perhaps?

Because you don't want to lose the topic, I'll talk about Can can. I've never actually seen one performed in real life, only ever in films and on TV, and then only in period settings. Possibly it is dying out ...

Yes definately. We do the Can Can in our act and it has all the cartwheels handstands and slap stick comedy, which is a massive crowd pleaser. Burlesque and Can Can are like Melted chocolate and strawberries.

I did a can-can number a couple months ago and it was a huge hit! I think audiences really appreciate the energy of the number and that it's an unusual thing to see.

That being said, I have ultimate respect for women who can do this on a regular basis, because I was just barely in shape enough to pull it off!

here's one vote for yes to the can-can!

a bit tricky on your own, but looks smashing as a group performance

Get out of my dreams, get into my car! Or to translate that bad eighties quote... that sounds amazing!

I love a Can can... it's so exhilerating to watch... you know when you just want to jump up and join in (except i'm much too clumsy... i'd probably end up kicking someone in the face!)

Oh my goodness.....what type of burlesque acts are they thinking of performing??? I have very bad image of Mr E John doing a balloon pop routine now in the stacked platforms he wore in Tommy......

Oh god, now I'm imaging Boyzone doing the can can!!

Al what have you done to me (runs off screaming)
