A major figure in the choreographic revival of the early XXᵉ century, Duncan broke with the codes of classical ballet by developing a free dance inspired by Antiquity and the body's natural movement On September 14, 1927, in Nice, she died accidentally when her long scarf got caught in the wheel of an automobile she was riding in.
