Question

Duncan herself stopped going to school at ten,but she later had students from all over the world. Duncan was called the mother of modern dance because she brought lots of new ideas into the dancing of her time. She believed that dance is life itself and comes from the heart. Duncan also said that dance belongs to everyone,rich and poor,young and old. That was why one time she did not agree to dance in a theatre because the tickets there were very expensive.
