Dance lovers of the world rejoice – an animated Martha Graham is today’s google home page. Although I did not suffer through the number of hip wrenching Graham technique class hours that KR did, I feel so proud to have participated in her legacy! So, in honor of what would have been Martha Graham’s 117th birthday, please enjoy some photos and videos. Interesting sidenote: Madonna moved to NYC to study with Graham and her company. Although she did not stay there, Madonna loved and revered her. You can see her with MG below.

Here is a clip from Lamentation where she dances in a bag:

Easily one of my favorite Google themes yet. I didn’t know who it was, just that I loved it. Thanks for the background!
I have to admit, I saw this first thing that morning and squealed!!! I love that google does this anyway, but seeing the dancer up there made my day!!
Yeah! It almost makes me miss Graham class. Bison here I come!!!
