The Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation, established in 1980 by 3rd-generation Duncan dancer Lori Belilove, is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and extension of Isadora Duncan's legacy through the performance of her extant repertory, the creation of new work inspired by her technical style and philosophy, the cultivation of research through the conservation and use of its rare archival materials, and the fulfillment of educational and community programs which will extend her work to future generations.
The Foundation operates under three main branches of activity: the Performing Wing, which offers public performances by the resident performing company, Lori Belilove & The Isadora Duncan Dance Company, as well as by the junior troupe, The Beliloveables; the Educational Wing, which offers educational programs that train future generations of Duncan dancers and teachers; and the Archival and Historical Wing, which supports the Foundation's archival collections by preserving and documenting all aspects of the Duncan legacy.
