✨ ISADORA DUNCAN IN PARIS ✨
Technique & Repertory Intensive
📍 Paris, France | December 27–31, 2026

Join Francesca Todesco / Dances We Dance for five days of immersion in the art and technique of Isadora Duncan — in the city where Duncan lived, created, and profoundly shaped the history of modern dance.

Through daily technique classes and repertory sessions, we will explore Duncan’s revolutionary approach to movement: musicality, natural gesture, breath, expression, and the connection between the body and the world around us.

The intensive will culminate in a student showing on December 31, offering participants the opportunity to share the work with an audience and experience Duncan’s living legacy on stage.

✨ December 27–31, 2026
✨ Micadanses, Paris
✨ Technique + Repertory
✨ Taught in English
✨ Student Showing — December 31 at 4 PM

Come dance, explore, and celebrate the enduring spirit of Isadora Duncan in Paris. ❤️
