Spring 2025 Report from the Royal Gorge Promenaders
The Royal Gorge Promenaders are enjoying a good spring season.
Our spring/summer SSD (Social Square Dance) class is roughly 1/2 of the way through the curriculum. We have approximately 20 students, including a few dancers who were once members of the historic Royal Gorge Promenaders. Our sweetheart is our youth dancer, Pearl, who loves square dance!! She learned about us from the local 4H club. The Fremont County Extension office Director cooperated nicely with us and posted our flyers in the office, and on their website.
We are so thankful for Square Dance Angel 😇 support from our sister SEASDC clubs. It is wonderful to have an abundance of Angels, and that is really helping our students to progress. Thanks to all our sweet and kind Angels.
Graduation is July 14th. So, this spring/summer class will miss the 2025 Tumbleweed Jamboree and the 2025 State Festival.
We are creating a special dangle dance for our new graduates. It will be their first opportunity to earn a dangle. On Wednesday July 16th, 2026, we will have a Purple Heart Dance. Loren Behm from Tulsa (and formerly from Denver) will be our caller. This dance will be from 6:30 to 9:00 P.M. at the Golden Age Center, 728 Main St., Canon City, Colorado, 81212. We are asking people to wear Purple or Lavender, if possible. If you can help with refreshments, please add a little purple (purple cabbage, purple grapes, black raspberries, or ????).
We are inviting callers from the Southeast Colorado area, and truly from the entire state, to come and dance with us. We are inviting recent graduates and veteran dancers from many clubs to attend as well. Our hope is to have at least 6 to 8 callers as dancers and help the new graduates meet many callers that they have never seen before.
Remember to mark your calendar for July 16 and come visit beautiful Canon City!!
