Isadora Duncan (1878-1927) was an influential figure in the 1910s and today is regarded as the founder of modern dance. She revolutionized dance with her free-form interpretive movements, encouraged arts education for children, and scandalized audiences by wearing non-restrictive, flowing robes that she adapted from Classical Greek vase paintings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Greek Island Dress sewing pattern pays homage to this unforgettable woman.
