Isadora Duncan
The Woman Who Invented Modern Dance by Taking Off Her Shoes
I danced barefoot into revolution.
I was born to move, to break the corsets of dance and thought. My body speaks what words cannot — the truth of Whitman's verse, the fire of Greece, and the wild grace of nature itself. I have danced in palaces and on mountaintops, and I have known both ecstatic applause and unbearable grief. Still, I dance. Still, I burn.
What I'm Into: flowing tunics, Greek amphitheaters, Walt Whitman's verses, my children's memory, the sea at dusk
