Contra dancing is traditional New England social dancing with musicians playing jigs and reels. The dancing is energetic and involves mixing with the other dancers as each couple performs a short routine with another couple before progressing onto the next couple and repeating the sequence. 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. Contra dancing is easy, mostly involving a smooth walking step. A different routine is taught before each dance by a caller who has everyone ''walk through'' the dance while explaining it. The music is always live, and has roots that go back to traditional Irish and Scottish folk music. Some bands specialize in an old-time Appalachian sound. Contra dancing is great exercise and great fun, enjoyed by people of all ages and lifestyles including families. It is not necessary to attend with a partner. Dress is casual. Most evenings will include a few other kinds of dances such as waltzes, and other types of couple dances, or possibly a square or circle mixer. Call 800-537-7676.

- 2-4-6-8 AMERIAN CHEEREADERS AND FOOTBALL PLAYERS: James A. Michener Art Museum, 138 S. Pine Street, Doylestown, PA. Cheer loud, cheer proud! As the recent movie Friday Night Lights demonstrated, high school football is something Americans take very seriously. Photographer Brian Finke takes it seriously too. Created with both affection and respect, his documentation of the megaphone world of football players and cheerleaders captures this quintessentially American sub-culture: crowd-pleasing, stunt-building girls and pigskin-tossing boys, in full adolescent throttle. Finke's skillful and vivid images were made during a two-year period in which he roamed the country on the trail of the top teams. These serendipitous photographs take you into the moment: the wins and losses; the intensity of friendships, rivalries, mentoring, and competition; and the cultivation of self-image and self-worth that is at the core of adolescence. Brian Finke graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1998, and his work has been featured in The New Yorker, Esquire, Time, and Newsweek. His photographs have been exhibited internationally, and are included in collections worldwide. This exhibition samples both bodies of work—football players and cheerleaders-and is accompanied by a full-color monograph published by Umbrage Editions. Call 215-340-9800.
