Salutations! It is I, Isadora Duncan, the Mother of modern dance. I have captivated audiences for years in the United States as a young adult and showcased throughout Europe once I was more seasoned. My ingenious, free-flowing, and innovated style of Modern Dance was ground breaking and the first of it's kind. I aspired to establish schools that teach new forms of movement in dance, and inspire young people to be original and eccentric. I have achieved that by establishing beautiful and successful schools in France, Russia, and Germany. Rather than uptight, restricting, and to be frank- ugly, classic ballet movements my schools embrace the natural movement of the body and loving yourself, others, and most importantly the art that is dance! Speaking of love: my love life is quite zesty and often spoken about in the press, but what’s life with out a little controversy? Well, I’m off to inspire the youth of today, Ta-ta!

This is a poster for a performance the Isadorables and I had at  Carnegie Hall in 1918. Ah, I can remember that performance like it was yesterday, performing was always so enchanting.

  3. I encouraged all my students to be their own individuals, but we did have similarities! Carniege hall is a beautiful place to perform, and it's amazing we never ran into each other there! I consider all my performances to be important and each on is more special than the last.
