Mary Sano is a third-generation Duncan dancer and one of the world’s foremost interpreters of Duncan choreography. After meeting her mentor Mignon Garland in 1979, Sano was strongly inspired by the natural and spiritual nature of Duncan dance and established schools in Tokyo (The Isadora Duncan Heritage Society Japan) in 1983, and in San Francisco (The Mary Sano Studio of Duncan Dancing) in 1997.
She has been teaching and performing not only Isadora Duncan’s repertoire but also her original work for productions she choreographs, directs, and produces in Japan, the United States, and Europe.
