The Serpentine is an evolution of the skirt dance, a form of burlesque dance that had recently arrived in the United States from England.
With her silk drapery, Fuller created her first “Serpentine Dance” that became a particular genre and was widely imitated. She was considered a wizardess for her technological and stagecraft innovations. She was capable of transforming the stage with her ideas about costumes, moves, and the lightning during her performances. With her famous “Fire Dance,” Fuller lighted the stage from below to create an illusion of being ringed by flames.
