People of all ages and abilities are inspired by dancing based on Barbara Mettler's principles of individual and group improvisation. By reawakening the natural language of movement that lies within us, creative dance offers something to everyone. Those in the fields of education, therapy, and creative & performing arts will especially find resonance in their own work.
Pre-Congress Weekend, led by dance educator and author Lynne McNett, is open to all and is a prerequisite for those with no prior Mettler-based dance experience who plan to attend the Congress. Cost is only $125
Congress Week is an intensive 5-day program dedicated to Mettler-based dance improvisation led by outstanding teachers. Tuition is $200 (IACD members) or $220 (non-member rate). Some partial financial aid in exchange for tasks at Congress may be available.
The Congress and Pre-Congress are supported by gifts from The Barbara Mettler Trust and Mettler Studio, Inc.
