Jacques Offenbach (1819 - 1880) was German-born French composer and cellist. He is remembered for his nearly 100 operettas of the 1850s–1870s. When Jacob was six years old, his father taught him to play the violin; within two years the boy was composing songs and dances, and at the age of nine he took up the cello. 
 
Can-Can is a high-energy and physically demanding French music hall dance, traditionally performed by a chorus line of female dancers who wear costumes with long skirts. The main features of the dance is high kicking.
