"Learning from Isadora: How to Lead a Legendary Life"

Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) choreographed her life as a grand gesture. A pioneer of American modern dance during the last gasp of the Victorian era, she was the original "self-made woman." She lived large, and became a legend in her own time.

Isadora lived on her own terms, insisting upon freedom in all its forms—personally, artistically, and socially. Her adventures (and misadventures) influenced generations of women to embrace a confident, creative, and unconstrained womanhood.

Isadora’s epic life story is as compelling as ever. And her approach to life still serves as a guiding light for women who want to live more expansively.

In this inspirational keynote speech, Ann Daly shares the secrets of Isadora’s success.

Designed for professional women’s meetings or spouse events, "Learning from Isadora" explains the dancer’s six simple strategies for leading a legendary life. Each attendee leaves with renewed energy and practical guidelines for pursuing her own personal or professional vision.

Ann Daly, Ph.D., is author of the award-winning book, Done into Dance: Isadora Duncan in America. Her speaking credentials include international keynotes and an NPR "Marketplace" commentary.
