Isadora Duncan Dance Group (London-Paris) was formed by Barbara Kane and Francoise Rageau to preserve and promote the dance of Isadora Duncan through workshops, lectures and performances. The group has developed a programme of teaching that encourages a respect for the historical and present day relevance of Duncan's contribution to education and artistic expression.

The group also has given performances throughout Europe: (one week event The Heritage of Isadora Duncan at the University of Bologna, Turin International Dance Festival, Gala Isadora Duncan in Paignton, Devon, Royal Festival Hall 'Ballroom Blitz', Retrospective Isadora Duncan, Moscow).
