I LOVE Martha Graham.
She is a genius. Though not a physically attractive woman, I consider her one of the most beautiful people in the world because she was able to perfect movement of the body and is one of the most influential American comtemporary dancers. She was not only a dancer and teacher but a great philsopher in my opinion. Here is one of my favorite quotes by her:

"There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost."
