Book Description
This cultural study of modern dance icon Isadora Duncan is the first to place her within the thought, politics and art of her time. Duncan's dancing earned her international fame and influenced generations of American girls and women, yet the romantic myth that surrounds her has left some questions unanswered: What did her audiences see on stage, and how did they respond? What dreams and fears of theirs did she play out? Why, in short, was Duncan's dancing so compelling? First published in 1995 and now back in print, Done into Dance reveals Duncan enmeshed in social and cultural currents of her time — the moralism of the Progressive Era, the artistic radicalism of prewar Greenwich Village, the xenophobia of the 1920s, her association with feminism and her racial notion of "Americanness."

Book Description
Freedom, flow, and spontaneity are the keys to the Duncan technique. Different from both ballet and modern dance, it draws on movement common to all children: walking, running, skipping, and swaying. This book covers all of these various movements and lays out interactive exercises for easy and relaxed learning so that children can experience the pleasure of moving freely without self-consciousness. This is an easy to follow guide to Duncan technique as well as instructions for five original Duncan dances.
