    • THURSDAY NIGHT CONTRA DANCE: 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, Glenside Memorial Hall, Waverly Road and Keswick Avenue, Glenside, PA.
