The world-renowned Moulin Rouge in Paris may be closed but its famous can-can dance continues in the face of COVID-19.  

The 130-year-old cabaret venue suspended all performances from 13 March until further notice, but Moulin Rouge dancers have shared their at-home workouts online and created a video of their exercises to the rhythm of Jacques Offenbach's most well-known piece of music.

Unlike many other at-home workouts that have been shared online amid the lockdown, this is not one that anybody can try to imitate.

The video shows the dancers performing the splits in the kitchen, doing cartwheels in the garden, jumping around their living rooms and doing all sorts of acrobatics in their homes.

The can-can is a very physically demanding dance, which requires a lot of energy and great athletic skills. For the Moulin Rouge dancers, who are both artists and athletes, it is essential to keep in shape for the day they will be allowed to perform again. Meanwhile, the show must go on... and we can all enjoy a little taste of the French can-can without leaving our couches.
