Duncan is known as "The Mother of Dance". While her schools in Europe did not last long, Duncan's work had an impact on the art and her style is still danced based upon the instruction of [[Maria-Theresa Duncan]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=Maria+Theresa+Duncan&sp=1&st=list&co=agc&sg=false&fi=all&op=AND&va=all|title=Search Results: "Maria Theresa Duncan" – Prints & Photographs Online Catalog (Library of Congress)|website=www.loc.gov}}</ref> Anna Duncan,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=Anna+Duncan&sp=1&st=list&co=agc&sg=false&fi=all&op=AND&va=all|title=Search Results: "Anna Duncan" – Prints & Photographs Online Catalog |website=[[Library of Congress]]}}</ref> and Irma Duncan,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=Irma+Duncan&sp=1&st=list&co=agc&sg=false&fi=all&op=AND&va=all|title=Search Results: "Irma Duncan" – Prints & Photographs Online Catalog (Library of Congress)|website=www.loc.gov}}</ref> three of her six pupils.  Through her sister, Elizabeth, Duncan's approach was adopted by [[Jarmila Jeřábková]] from Prague where her legacy persists.<ref name=kb>{{cite web|url=http://www.czechdance.info/newsaj/100-year-birth-anniversary-of-jarmila-jerabkova-dancer-choreographer-and-teacher/|title=100-year birth anniversary of Jarmila Jeřábková – dancer, choreographer and teacher|author=Kateřina Boková|publisher=Czech Dance Info|access-date=5 March 2014 }}</ref> By 1913 she was already being celebrated. When the [[Théâtre des Champs-Élysées]] was built, Duncan's likeness was carved in its ''[[bas-relief]]'' over the entrance by sculptor [[Antoine Bourdelle]] and included in painted [[murals]] of the nine [[muses]] by [[Maurice Denis]] in the auditorium. In 1987, she was inducted into the [[National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame]].

Choreographer and dancer [[Julia Levien]] was also instrumental in furthering Duncan's work through the formation of the Duncan Dance Guild in the 1950s and the establishment of the Duncan Centenary Company in 1977.<ref name="nyt">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/09/obituaries/09levien.html?_r=0|title=Julia Levien, 94, Authority on the Dances of Isadora Duncan, Dies|work=[[The New York Times]]|date= September 9, 2006|author=Jennifer Dunning|author-link=Jennifer Dunning}}</ref>

Another means by which Duncan's dance techniques were carried forth was in the formation of the Isadora Duncan Heritage Society, by Mignon Garland, who had been taught dance by two of Duncan's key students. Garland was such a fan that she later lived in a building erected at the same site and address as Duncan, attached a commemorative plaque near the entrance, which is still there {{as of|2016|lc=y}}. Garland also succeeded in having San Francisco rename an alley on the same block from Adelaide Place to Isadora Duncan Lane.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kisselgoff|first1=Anna|title=Mignon Garland Dies at 91; Disciple of Isadora Duncan|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/24/arts/mignon-garland-dies-at-91-disciple-of-isadora-duncan.html|access-date=18 May 2016|newspaper=The New York Times|date=September 24, 1999}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Journal of proceedings, Board of Supervisors, City and County of San Francisco|url=https://archive.org/stream/journalofjanaprproceed83sanfrich#page/88/mode/2up|website=The Wayback Machine|publisher=Board of Supervisors, City and County of San Francisco|access-date=19 May 2016|page=89|date=January 25, 1988}}</ref>
