Duncan is a great reformer in dance art. Her "greatness" first lies in changing people's concept of previous dance (mainly ballet), freeing dance from rigid forms and empty skills and truly becoming a means to express the soul and spirit. Duncan said: "I have always opposed ballet as a false and absurd art-in fact, it can't be counted as art at all ... I sat there blankly and watched Pavlova's amazing stunts nervously. She seems to be made of steel and rubber, and her beautiful face shows the serious lines of martyrs, and she never stops practicing. The general trend of this kind of training seems to be to separate the gymnastics movements of the body from the mind. And the mind will only feel the pain of leaving the body because of this harsh muscle training. All these are completely contrary to a set of theories on which my school is based. According to my theory, the body should be transparent and visible and become a means to express the mind and spirit. "

The so-called "body should be transparent and visible" is the integration of "body worry" The purpose of this "unification" is to show "real life". Duncan Chen Dao: "My art is trying to express my real life through dancing and movements. It took me a long time to find an absolutely real action ... from the beginning, I just used dance to express my life. When I was a child, I used dance to express my spontaneous happiness for all living things. When I was a teenager, the happiness in dancing began to turn into anxiety, worrying about the tragic undercurrent in my life I just realized, worrying about the ruthlessness and cruelty of life, worrying that life would roll forward and crush everything ... Later, I used dance to express my struggle in life and the short-term happiness I got from life. "
