Inspired by personal experience as a ballet dancer and researcher (Dornelles de Almeida; Flores-Pereira, 2013) I plan to conduct a qualitative study through a bodily-centred (Crossley, 1995) ethnography at professional ballet companies, as well as with independent professional ballet dancers in London.

Isadora Duncan and Mary Wigman both started with the same idea of dancing, and how they should incorporate human movement instead of ballet that was more unnatural to the body. Even though they had a similar thought about modern dance, they had one thing that made them very different, which was their choreography.
