"From the beginning there was in America the colonists and later the immigrants brought their dances with them and combined them for a powerful art of said Fowler. "The dances which we perceive as quaint now, were once called the newest, freshest and wildest form of art," said one member. "Barefoot dance or aesthetic dancing, as it was called, embodied a yearning for freedom and a return to the dance , "In early American dance there were three goddesses of unlimited and delightful imagination: Isadore Duncan, Maude Allen, and Ruth St. Dennis," John Mead said. Isadora "San Francisco-bor- n Duncan looked to the Creeks for inspiration. The choreography of her dances consisted of a series of runs, skips, leaps and flowing Creek poses which were considered natural to the body," he said.

Burke visit to have added appeal In an attempt to increase student involvement with SUSC SUSC's museum has been tom down to make way for new parking for the campus.
