House and the
Folklore Society
will host the Har-
risburg area band
“Medicinal Pur-
pose” for a New
England Contra
Dance on Sat.,
Dec. 13, at'7 p.m.
The dance is held
at the Wyoming
Seminary Lower
ming Avenue,
Forty Fort (Rt. 11).
Medicinal Pur-
pose is a Harris-
burg based band
that has been
playing together
for several years.
The band includes
Ryck Kaiser, on
fiddle; Jamie Williams, guitar;
Carol Whitfield, banjo and
concertina; and Henry Koretzky
on mandolin and hammered dul-
cimer. Their first recording: “Un-
corked!” has been widely praised
by prominent folk music publica-
tions and radio show hosts. Dirty
Linen magazine asserted in a
music review “This is darn good
contra dance music played with
an uncommon sense of arrange-
ments and instrumentation.”
Dancers will know that as soon as
the music starts with a widely
varied mix of reel, jigs, waltzes
and more.
Calling the dance is Bob
Nicholson, who is widely traveled
in Pennsylvania. He has fre-
quently called for the local contra
dance, as well as for dances all
along the Atlantic coast. Hehas a
relaxed approach to calling, and
is well known for quickly involv-

n
ing newcomers to the dance. In
contra dancing the caller teaches
each dance before it is actually
done to the music. This gives
everyone an idea of what to expect
so the movements can be easily
executed. The caller leads the
dances while they are being done
to music, so dancers are able to
perform each movement to the
music. Once the dancers appear
to have mastered a particular
dance, the callermay stop calling,
leaving the dancers to enjoy the
movement with music alone.
People of all ages and lifestyles,
including children, are welcome.
Contra dances are a place where
people from many walks of life
come together to dance and so-

The event is promised to be
“cure-all” for those who find them-
selves so rushed during the holi-

dancing is a
community
dance, and in-
dividual danc-
ers quickly re-
alize that as
they are in-
volved in the
cooperative ef-
fort that contra
dancing repre-
sents. Accord-
ing to David
Martin, one of
the dance orga-
nizers, “contra
dancing allows
you to focus
attnetion on
flowing with the
music, while feeling a sense of
moving in unity within a commu-
nity.” \
No partner or previous experi-
ence is necessary. Contra danc-
ing is a sociable and multigenera-
tional dance form. It is a moder-
ately aerobic dance form, so danc-
ers are encouraged to dress in
light weight, casual clothing. A
few waltzes and square dances
are also usually part of any evening
of contra dancing.
Dancers are asked to enter the
school cafeteria from the Murray
Street side.
Dancers are requested to bring
a plate of refreshments to share
during the intermission. The
dances are co-sponsored by the
Chicory House (a non-profit cof-
feehouse) and the Folklore Soci-
ety of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia. For information, call 333-
