Does any one know? I want to use the music in a video I'm making for a contest, and there is no copyrighted music allowed in the videos.

The Can Can is a dance, not music. The music you want to use is most likely written by Offenbach who wrote a number of very popular Can Can tunes. He died in 1880, so his music is public domain worldwide.
However, the problem is not the music but recordings. If you plan on playing/recording the music yourself, that is ok. If you plan on using music off a CD you will find there is a circle P emblem which indicates that the recording is protected from unauthorized use by the recording company.
You can find public domain recordings of this, try PastMasters PM129 from http://www.pastmasters.us/

the song you're referring to that is associated with the 'can can' line dance is called:
orpheus in the underworld
I'm sure the song itself is copywritten, as it's very well known...the popular line dance associated with it, is likely not.
