Stan Isaacs is a folk dance leader and teacher in the San Francisco Bay area. Stan began teaching folk dance around 1958 while attending Antioch College in Ohio. In the mid-1980s, he discovered Vintage Dancing when he sponsored a workshop with Richard Powers at his folk dance group.
In 1987, Stan and his wife, Karen Kalinsky, started the Pomander Club, a venue for Vintage Dancing in Palo Alto, California. The club meets weekly on Monday nights to learn and dance vintage dances. Originally, the club concentrated on the Ragtime Era (circa 1900-1920) but has since broadened its repertoire of dances to cover the 1800-1935 period.
With his wife, Stan has also taught at various folk dance workshops and ragtime festivals in the San Francisco Bay Area and other parts of California.
Dances Stan has taught include
Ais Giorgis,
I Trata,
Ikariotikos,
Leriko,
and
