A group for Mettler-inspired dancing was started and led in the 1970s by Cora Miller as Dance Now. It has continued as a collaborative group, sustained in large part through the efforts of Nancy Lob, Helen Horigan, and some other dedicated dancers. The name was changed to Still Dancing in 1981. Newcomers are always welcome.

About once a month, there is an opportunity to meet on Zoom and watch and discuss Mettler video clips together.

We’ve focused on theme development and the time element in the last two gatherings.

The sessions last about 1.5 hours and are open to anyone interested in learning more about Barbara’s approach to dance.

The Zoom invitation will go out to the community several days before each session.

Links will be included for those who want to watch on their own.
