An American, born in San Francisco, Isadora Duncan revolutionized dance. She's considered to be the mother of MODERN DANCE. She lost her husband to suicide and her two children were drowned in a car accident. Isadora died in a freak accident herself. She was known for wearing long flowing scarves. While a passenger in an automobile, her scarf became tangled in the wheels and she was strangled to death."If I could tell you what it meant,
there would be no point in dancing it."
--- Isadora Duncan
May 27, 1877 - September 14, 1927
"Affectations can be dangerous."
--- Gertrude Stein
