Isadora Duncan (1878-1927)
Isadora Duncan was the first dancer in Western World to create a new form of theatrical dance outside of classical ballet. Her technique combined simple, natural movement with a Greek aesthetic that revolutionized the art of the dance. Isadora believed that all movement should originate from the solar plexus, as it was closest to where the body housed the Soul, and should spread throughout the limbs in a continuous, undulating wave.
