As the 1800s ended, dance, like most other arts, was fairly conventional. If people went to a dance performance, they probably went to ballet. This dance had precise moves and rigid postures. People enjoyed ballet, and it was widely accepted.
However, at around that time a young woman from San Francisco entered the scene. She would change dance forever. Her name was Isadora Duncan.
Duncan was born into an artistic family. Even as a child she loved dancing and taught dance classes for young children. She quickly developed some very strong ideas for what dance should be.
Duncan took her inspiration from nature. She loved the Pacific Ocean and the towering pine trees of her native California. She wanted to represent these natural elements in her dances. She also looked at people’s natural movements, especially the movements of children. Running, skipping, kneeling — these were things done by children all over the world. Duncan incorporated them into dance routines.
She believed that older dances were rather lifeless; hers, she felt, should express emotion.
When Duncan performed her dances in places like Chicago and New York, she caused a sensation. People were not prepared to see a young woman in a thin, flowing dress running and leaping across the stage barefoot. She had to go to Europe for acceptance. Received more favorably in London, she gradually opened dance schools in many cities. Soon she was touring and performing everywhere. Her ideas paved the way for what we know as modern dance today.
Duncan’s death was as startling as her life. As she rode in a open sports car in France, the long-scarf around her neck tangled in the car’s wheels and she was strangled.
Duncan got her best early acceptance in______.
