The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were openended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.s no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre pany, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent.
