Calls for the First 12 Lessons Promenaders Logo

Welcome to Your First 12 Lessons

You’re about to embark on a fun journey. Learning your first square dance calls step by step. Think of it like building a tower: learn one move, then add another, and soon you'll be dancing with confidence. It turns out nearly every club and caller teaches these calls in this same playful order, so you're right on track!

Oops... Mistakes? Totally Cool! 😅 Guess what? Mistakes are not just okay—they're golden. Sidestepping, mixing up a hand, or bursting into laughter in the middle of the square? Perfect! That’s exactly how learning happens. We all stumble, giggle, and grow—together.

Need a Boost? Just Ask! ✋ Stuck on a call that’s not quite sinking in? Don’t sweat it. During break, raise your hand or tap someone—usually the caller will reintroduce that move in the next tip so everyone gets another chance to nail it. You're not the only one, and you’re not alone!


Want to preview the moves before class—or show them off later? Check out the full list of calls, complete with animations and descriptions, below:

You can see what’s coming up—from “Circle Left” in Lesson 1 to “Recycle” in Lesson 12—then laugh, marvel, and practice them even when you're off the dance floor.

Your Pep-Talk Finale 🌟

Relax, Bring your smile, and Enjoy every awkward twirl, happy misstep, and giggly moment. You're already doing awesome—see you next lesson, and let’s dance into the fun together! 💃🕺✨
