"How do you make a dance?"
"You let one movement grow out of another with your whole self in it. And the more your body, your emotions, your mind, your spirit are all integrated in it, the more alive it will be, the more meaning it will have." Barbara Mettler
WHO WE ARE
The International Association for Creative Dance (IACD) is a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive member-governed organization. We are a community of creative movers who practice, promote, develop, and apply a free approach to the art of body movement and dance improvisation as pioneered by Barbara Mettler.
We encourage the understanding and use of Mettler-based creative dance in diverse contexts such as community centers, elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, clinical settings including health care and wellness environments, places of worship, public parks, and dance studios.
