LEARN TO SQUARE DANCE – WEEKLY STARTING SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 7-9 PM at the Grand River Multi-Purpose Senior Center, 607 W. Business 36, Chillicothe, MO
Want to join in the fun? It’s easier than you think with our square dance lessons.
PEPPY PROMENADERS of Chillicothe has an active and successful teaching program. Every year we help a new class of dancers learn the simple skills of square dancing.
Here is how our Teaching Program works:
Peppy Promenaders introduces new dancers and those needing to refresh their skills, to join the fun world of square dancing.
We invite you, your family and friends to join our club for an introduction to square dancing on August 23rd at 7 p.m. at the Cultural Corner for FREE.
The first lesson night in Chillicothe is September 4th at 7 pm and will be FREE and filled with fun and laughter with a chance to experience some simple square dance calls. This gives you a chance to see for yourself if square dancing is for you. Absolutely no dancing skills are required to participate in this event. Just come ready to have some fun and meet new friends!
CLASSES
Square dance lessons will then continue each week following that until completed. After the first week the remaining lessons will cost $3 per class or for youth just $1.50. Our outstanding caller, Don Boyer, will teach you every move. You will be assisted by some very helpful dancers who we call “Angels”. You do not need to worry about bringing someone to dance with you. Our “Angels” are experienced dancers who get a special satisfaction out of helping new people learn how to enjoy square dancing as much as they do. Throughout the classes, you will have Angels dancing in your square. These Angels will help guide you through the moves.
Lessons are held on Thursday evenings in Chillicothe from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the Grand River Multi-Purpose Senior Center. Class members are encouraged to attend every lesson (approximately 20 lessons). This is not just to learn the new calls, but also to get the additional “floor time” which will help you master the moves faster.
You will start by learning Mainstream calls. When these lessons are completed, you will be able to dance Mainstream level with the Peppy Promenaders or other clubs around Missouri, at square dance festivals, or other clubs around the United States.
After you have mastered the Mainstream calls, you’ll be able to take Plus lessons. The Peppy Promenaders is both a Mainstream and Plus club. There are many clubs throughout the United States and overseas. Yes, overseas!!! Square dance calls are called in English all over the world!!!
Using this simple and effective program, you too can become a square dancer. Discover what the smiles are all about! Take the first step and join us for a fun night out! Looking forward to seeing you across the square!
