We can see the interior of a club, illuminated by artificial lights.
In the middle of the room there are two dancers: they are the leading figures but they're not on the first ground. They're also characterised by many features, it's like the artist wanted to make us know their identities.
In fact, the two dancers were well known in the Parisian night-life: the woman is Louise Weber, also known with her stage name La Gouloue (the glutton), often portraited by Toulouse-Lautrec and reported to be the inventor of an early form of Cancan; the man his her friend and partner, the dancer Jacques Renaudin or Valentin le disossé, who was so agile that he seemed boneless.
There's a huge sense of movement: the woman's red stockings show off her legs, the figures are defined by curves and nervous lines.
Beside the dance's dynamism, there's also a strong feeling of melancholia that's shown by the soft, cold lighting that distort the figures.
This particular green-ish colouring effect was typical of advertisements.
In fact, Toulouse-Lautrec was a skilful affiches drawer.
