5.0 out of 5 stars Isadora still dances today !, August 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Isadora Duncan Dance [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is a must have for any Duncan fan. The dances are simple and elegant but at the same time difficult and powerful. The dance company presents one beautiful dance after another revealing the great genius of this revolutionary American artist. Yes, Isadora is still dancing today and this video proves it. The video only leaves you wanting more---where is part two? Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Isadora Duncan - A source of Inspiration, July 29, 2001

This review is from: Isadora Duncan Dance [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Isadora Duncan was and still is a major source of inspiration for Modern Dance pioneers, including Anna Sokolow. Dancing with bare feet and freedom of movement being proud of what you are, with the chest, the neck and the head all lifted up are all indications of this pride.
Isadora Duncan is an example of having roots. She herself went back to ancient Greece not for imitation but as a source of inspiration and to encounter with masterworks that transcend their own period. In our cynical world where people do not remember what happened yesterday, the 4th generation of Isadoras remind us of the simplicity of a genius and our personal lost of inner beauty and innocence.

1.0 out of 5 stars Isadora Rolls in Her Grave, August 27, 2001

How Sad! The magic of the Dance is missing. (Like painting by numbers.) Where is the movement of the Soul? Modern Dance later removed the soul from the body and left us with bodies moved by brains, there is no place in Duncan for this! Have these dancers found their "Motors?" Do they listen to music with their souls? No wonder Duncan Dance is not taken seriously by most Dancers these days, they have never seen the real thing! Irma Duncan
