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.
