Josephine Baker combined and popularised various dance styles that made her famous and influential. She was one of the first to perform the Charleston, a fast and rhythmic dance from the USA, in Europe. She was also known for her banana skirt dance, in which she wore only a skirt made of artificial bananas and gyrated her hips and bum. She called this dance "jazz hot" and made it a symbol of exoticism, sensuality and freedom. Josephine Baker was a master of improvised dance, adapting her movements to the music, the mood and the audience. She said: "I don't dance, I live."
