Isadora Duncan is regarded by many as the mother of modern dance. She was born in the U.S. but sailed on a cattle boat to England at the age of 21, working in Europe most of her life. She interpreted music freely and with restriction. A performance in London, with her dancing barefoot, soon enraptured concerts halls throughout Europe. On September 14, 1927, dancer Isadora Duncan is strangled in Nice, France, when the enormous silk scarf she is wearing gets tangled in the rear hubcaps of her open car. She was bisexual and died in a car accident at the age of 50.

Hey! :D
ReplyDeleteI've actually heard of her... there's some information in there I didn't know though. I read in a lateral thinking book, I believe, can't remember what exactly, but didn't she die because her scarf caught in the wheel of the car? That's what it said. O_o
Anyways. Rambling on now. Bye!
xD I forgot to mention that. I'll go add it in. Thanks, Neon!
