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.
I too have performed at carniege hall . Some say that this was one of my most important performances would you say thatthistoo was one of your most important performances?
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.
I have never heard of the Isadorables before. What was it like to perform with them? Were they all like you?
