It shares some elements with square dancing such as ''swing your partner'' and ''do-si-do'', but the couples form long lines rather than squares.

A different routine is taught before each dance by a caller who has everyone ''walk through'' the dance while explaining it at Glenside Memorial Hall, Waverly Road and Keswick Avenue, Glenside, PA.
