About the Promenader…

This publication includes information to help Round and Square Dancers stay informed about dance activities planned for Rochester, NY, and surrounding areas. It is divided into eight sections, as indicated by the yellow buttons on the Promenader page. Return to the Promenader Home Page by clicking the “Promenader” button at the top of this and every other page.

Some sections, such as the DANCE SCHEDULES, can also be accessed via the HOME page and the FEDERATION page. Navigate back to the Promenader, Federation or Main Home pages by using the buttons at the top of each page.

Please click HERE to read our Editor’s message for the current issue, and please click HERE for answers to Frequently-Asked Questions about the “ePromenader” and its online presence and the new WNYF web site. The FAQ explains many of the choices that were made in creating the new format. Click HERE for advice on how to save paper and ink when printing the various sections.

We hope this publication will keep you as informed as possible about Square and Round Dancing in our area. You may contact us at: Promenader@rochester.rr.com

In your email, please include the event date, club, event name, location, and caller/cuer, and attach any flyer that is associated with the event. List early, as your event listing stays in place until the event happens.


Ad Information

All WNYF-affiliated clubs may advertise their dance flyers for free. There is a $5 charge for listing a WNYF-affiliated club dance as a special dance.

Items sponsored by non-WNYF groups are $10 each, for each three-month posting period, regardless of size. Each paid ad includes a free listing in the Calendar of Special Events, where it will remain until the event occurs.

Multi-page ads will display only the first page but will display or download all pages when clicked. Dance flyers, notices and lists of special dances will stay posted until the dance or event occurs.

For details about ads and flyers, please refer to the Ads & Flyers section of our “Submission Guidelines” document, using the link given in the Submission Deadlines section above.

Items for this section can be submitted at any time and will be posted as they are received, without regard to quarterly submission deadlines.

Payment should be made by check payable to WNYF and sent before the deadline to the WNYF Treasurers, Rick & Donna LaDonna, 67 Grandview Drive, Fairport, NY 14450.
