Isadora Duncan dance is one of the kinds of dance practices that I’d like to host at Telluselle Living Center, with a trained teacher. It’s a form of modern dance, evolving from ballet to classical music but with softer and more liberated movements, dancing barefoot. Isadora Duncan was a pioneer in modern dance and developed this style in the early 1900’s, in the United States, across Europe with a fascination for Greek art, culture and legends, and with a visit to Russia that also inspired her for some dances. She also believed in teaching children about life and relating to nature, as she had grown to understand some spiritual mysteries, that she also wanted to forward. This is also part of learning to dance Isadora Duncan. We study her work, including both original photos and videos and interpretations.

Then we try to grasp how the motion came forth and seek this within ourselves, while aiming to express the same.

She is also famous for some profound quotes, like “You were once wild, don’t let them tame you.” and her free lifestyle, including dancing in sheer silk tunics.
