About the Perky Promenaders

PerkyPost newsletters   |  Photo Page | 2022 ByLaws | Memorials

The Perky Promenaders, named for the Perkiomen Creek, was formed in July 1963.

We danced in the Church on the Mall in the Plymouth Meeting Mall for many years, until 2005, when we moved to The Reformed Church of the Ascension in Jeffersonville.

In 2008, we added level-of-the-floor dancing on Saturday nights in Harleysville, and new-dancer dancing on Monday nights. In 2020, we moved our Wednesday dances to Harleysville. And in 2022, we moved Wednesday dances to Friday, also in Harleysville.

We dance the Plus Program on 2nd and 4th Friday nights, with callers workshop for the half-hour preceeding our dances.

We dance Level-of-the-Floor on 1st and 3rd Saturday nights, with a caller's workshop the first half hour of every dance. Class members are welcome to attend.

We have new-dancer dances and classes every Monday night.
