Isadora Duncan

Here are some more information for Isadora Duncan:

Yes dance your way to fitness! It is not coincidence that a dance craze is making its way across gyms throughout the world. The fitness dance craze has become one of the hottest and most widespread fitness phenomenon. DVD's and gyms abound with classes for Zumba, Belly-dancing, Salsa, Indian Chutney, African dance, Reggae, Pole dancing, and even Bollyrobics. You can now fulfill your desire for fun and get in shape at the same time!

Dancing, experts say, burns calories, increases energy, improves circulation, and improves muscle tone, mobility, and coordination. In fact, dancing can burn just as many calories as more traditional exercises such as brisk walking. Dancing can also have a profound effect on your psychological well-being and happiness. It relieves tension and stress, improves your mood, and serves as an outlet for your creativity.

As if it were not enough, from the beginning of time, dance has been used as one of those forms of art that simply attract and lure the potential mate. Throughout the animal kingdom examples abound of males performing courtship dances, and of attracting females with displays of fitness, strength, and skill.

Many studies exist to show that dance contributes to your mental well-being. Dance has even been found to help decrease dementia, symptoms of Alzheimer's, ADHD, and other cognitive and mood disorders like anxiety and depression.

In a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City found that ballroom dancing was associated with a lowered risk of dementia. The mentally challenging aspects of dancing - following complex dance steps, moving in time, and staying with the rhythm of music, is believed to be the reason for this.

Dancing also is convenient. You do not need expensive equipment or workout clothes. All you need is your body, the right music, and the willingness to have fun. You can dance in your own home, a gathering with friends, a party, the club...and now...at the gym.

Isadora Duncan said of dance that it needed 'the highest intelligence in the freest body'.

So, my friends, as I do, dance your way into health, fitness, and happiness!!

Villas Mougins

If you find Nice none too nice and Cannes a little over-run then a visit to Mougins might just remind you why the French Riviera remains one of Europe's premier holiday destinations.

Situated just 7km (4 miles) North of Cannes, Mougins is considered as chic as its more famous neighbour, yet it offers a haven from the over-commercialisation and over-development that affects certain parts of the region.

Mougins is very much the destination for those in the know and has attracted some of the greatest cultural figures of our time. Yves St. Laurent, Jean Cocteau, Isadora Duncan, Christian Dior, Winston Churchill and Catherine Deneuve have all called Mougins home at some point in their lives and it was here that Pablo Picasso chose to spend the final fifteen years of his life.

Though occupied since Roman times, the majority of the village dates from the 15th century when it was the property of the Monks of Saint Honorat from the nearby Iles de Lerins, located just off the coast of Cannes. Nowadays many of the Abbey's former properties, including hundred's of luxury villas and apartments, are available to rent in Mougins.

Many people use the town as a base from which to explore the region and, during the Cannes Film Festival, villa rental in Mougins is big business, with luxury villas only available at premium prices. Fortunately, being blessed with a warm and sunny climate, the Cote d'Azur is a viable destination year round and off-peak villa rental in Mougins is not only affordable, but can provide value for money for people who require more than just a hotel room.

Set atop a hill overlooking the bay of Cannes, this former fortified village is also a wonderful destination in itself. Its narrow alleys, cobblestone streets and beautiful vistas give it an air of a movie set perfection that makes it an ideal destination for a romantic break.

The beauty of the village is complemented by a wealth of boutiques and cafes, while the more cerebral will enjoy the Museum of Photography which contains work from such famous photographers as Lartique, Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. Just outside of town, on the A8 Autoroute, one can find the Musee de l'Automobile which houses a large number of classic and racing cars including Ferraris and Bugattis, and for the 'sportif' amongst you there are scores of great golf clubs within a short drive.
But one can't talk about Mougins without mentioning the food. The village is home to more Michelin rated restaurants than any other region in France. The best known of these is Le Moulin de Mougins, owned by the celebrated chef and writer Roger Verge and considered to be amongst the best restaurants in all of France.

Although Mougins has a number of good hotels, perhaps the best way to enjoy the area in an authentic a way as possible is by considering using one of the companies that provide rental villas in Mougins. They offer a great choice to suit all budgets and all requirements, whether you are looking for a luxury villa with swimming pool, or a smaller apartment to rent in the centre, Mougins has something for everyone.

Getting There:

The region is extremely well served and boasts two nearby airports, Nice Côte d'Azur (15 miles) which serves 10 million passengers a year and Cannes- Mandelieu which serves a more exclusive clientele.

Does anyone know in what year was Isadora Duncan most famous?

The year she died. The casue of her death was way more popular then her dance career. However, her career prime would probably be her mid-twenties - early 30s..

Keeping dance alive for the future
When an expert discovered a long-overlooked work by Michelangelo in a box of miscellaneous architectural drawings at the Cooper-Hewitt design museum in 2002, all that had to be done was authenticate the work and display it.
