During the first third of the twentieth century, innovators and developers of modern dance evolved exercise systems, established schools, and published books on �dancing� illustrated by numerous photographs. Some of the books are by dancer-authors: Isadora Duncan, Raymond Duncan, Mary Beegle, Helen Moller, Margaret H'Doubler, Eleanor Elder, and Margaret Morris.
