The 2025 Creative Dance Congress 

at Tucson Creative Dance Studio

3131 N. Cherry Ave. Tucson, Arizona

 Introductory Workshop:  Saturday, July 26 - Sunday, July 27

 Creative Dance Congress:  Sunday, July 27 - Friday, Aug. 1

This year the IACD Annual Dance Congress will embrace the quote that adorns the outer wall of the Tucson

Creative Dance Center: “We dance for pleasure and for the good of the city”, which is credited to the

indigenous Zuni people of the southwest. This quote embodies the foundational sentiment of Barbara

Mettler’s work - that creative art activity is an essential human need, and that healthy humans make healthy

communities.

PARTICIPATION - Who is the IACD Creative Dance Congress for? EVERYONE! People with previous in-person

Mettler based dance experience are welcome to attend the Introductory Workshop, but it is not required.

People new to Mettler based dance, or have only attended classes via Zoom, must attend the Introductory

Workshop. The Intro Workshop will be taught by veteran Mettler dancer and teacher, Griff Goehring. All are

welcome to attend.
