Notes

Reference: Nahumck, Nadia Chilkovsky. Isadora Duncan: The Dances. Washington DC: The National Museum of Women in the Arts, 1994.

The dancer mimes the actions of rocking a cradle and hovering over a child.

This waltz should be performed very smoothly. This is the easiest dance to learn. As in all of the Duncan dances, the arm movements are extremely expressive. The outstretched arm should extend through the fingertips.
