This U.S. dancer
pioneered in modern, spontaneous dance.
She had successful European tours and founded dancing schools in Germany, U.S.S.R., and the U.S.
Her fondness for scarves led to her death at 49.

Isadora Duncan was strangled at the hand of her scarf when it became twisted on the tire of a convertible in which she was riding.
Another important modern dance pioneer is Martha Graham.

Isadora Duncan. She drew her inspiration for dancing from Greek statues. And those European tours were not like what we imagine them to be today, as she often performed in the parlors of high-class people and earned very little money. She was certainly quite a character.

Isadora Duncan!
She kicked off her shoes and added some freedom to movement, Europe loved her.
Married Singer, the sewing machine guy.
