Talking about evil ways, they must be meant mostly  about "Isadorables". As it is known, Lisa perfomed at music-halls and night clubs, Maria-Theresa was a soloist dancer, Irma  together with Anna  had their own students.

Gordon Craig and his sister Edith was Ellen Terry's children from her relationship with Edward Godwin. It is not for sure known when they adopted the surname Craig. In one source said that they chose it when they grew up and before that they had their father's last name. In the other source mentioned that in 1887 Ellen changed her children's last name to Craig, wich was chosen because of a trip to Scotland where she was  struck by rock with a name Ailsa Craig.

The pupils of Isadora Duncan's Moscow school during their tour.

 

During 1928-1930 the 11th of most talented students from Isadora's Moscow school with Irma was touring abroad. This tour was arranged by Soul Hurok by Isadora's last request.The series of American concerts had good reviews. Except dances, the girls also was singing while dancing. But after the tour, Irma refused to take the them back home. Instead, she proposed  to stay with her and promised them a splendid career. The students declined the proposition and decided to return to Russia.Having no money to buy tickets, they started  to perform in universities. Lily Dikovskaya,the one of these pupils, in her book "In Isadora's steps" explaining this situation, wrote that Irma stole their honorars from tour and expacted that her students would return to her on any terms.
That's why they had to collect money by dancing to students.
