She was a revolutionary woman in the world of dance. Duncan began her dancing career by learning ballet at home from the six through her teenage years. She became a dancer and auditioned and entered in a ballet company in Chicago that finally moved her to New York, but she felt unhappy and limited with that work because of the strict and rigid technique of ballet, so she moved to London and started a new career. She rented a dance studio so she could taught her innovator technique based on natural and free movements, so she became the founder of the contemporary dance style.

As a child, she trained in gymnastics under the instruction of her mother. In 1977 at age 11, she began studying ballet at the Paris Opera Ballet School. Guillem also wanted to dance in other companies, other styles and with other choreographers, so the Paris Opera Ballet dismiss her, so she went to the Royal Ballet with a lot of conditions to enter in the company. By 2006 she moved from ballet to contemporary dance.
