About This Book

The soft rustle of flowing skirts and the gentle beat of bare feet on wooden floors fill the air. Imagine dancing like the wind, free and wild, just like Isadora Duncan did long ago. Her graceful moves changed the way people saw dance forever, but it wasn’t always easy — and her story is full of passion and courage.
