Isadora Duncan (May 27, 1877 — September 14, 1927) was inventor of the American modern dance, where the solar plexus and thetorso began to be seen as the source of the dance movement instead of the feet as in ballet which was rejected in favor of less artificial movements, unrestricted costumes and emotional expression utilization. She inspired not only dancers, but also other kinds of artists.
Born in the United States, she lived in Western Europe, and the Soviet Union from the age of 22 until her death at age 50. In the United States she was popular only in New York, and only later in her life. (Wikipedia)
