"A little mistake or a little delay and you can miss your entrance. You really need to be at the right time at the right place."Each show requires 1,000 outfits, all crafted in the workshops that have been supplying the Moulin Rouge for decades. Each dancer has to make between 10 and 15 costume changes per show, with about 90 seconds to complete each one before they have to be back out on stage.Axelle stretches as she warms up before performing the French Cancan.
