"La Goulue, a member of the Moulin-Rouge, 1891-1892, Museum of Modern Art, New York). "Dance at the Moulin Rouge" (1890, private collection), "Lessons Valenta new girls at the Moulin Rouge"

Moulin Rouge is very attracted Lautrec, and the dancers often had the characters of his paintings. The names of course quite unusual:
La Goulue - La Goulue - is Louise Weber, the nickname means glutton (because of the habit of eating large quantities: making up for not having received a hungry child) danced in pairs with Valentenom, whose name was Valentin le Désossé - boneless, probably because of its flexibility.
and another was Nini Pattes-en-l'air (Nini legs in the air) - that's about it nothing I can find. Interestingly Lautrec portrayed it in his paintings?
