Born in London in 1891, Margaret Morris developed a comprehensive modern dance and movement therapy system called Margaret Morris Movement or MMM that continues to be taught and enjoyed around the world today. As a young child Margaret felt crippled by the constraints of the Italian ballet syllabus. At the age of 12 she began to evolve her own ‘natural dance technique' including the Greek positions of opposition that became the framework of her dance system. Ahead of her times, Margaret realised the potential benefit of dance as she saw improvements in her dancers' posture and general health and her dance technique produced dancers of the highest calibre.
