Bring your dancing shoes to a rollicking dance party featuring the talented six-piece rock band, Spontaneous Combustion, on Saturday, Oct. 20, 7:30 p.m., at Congregation Tifereth Israel in Glen Cove. The public is welcomed to join in the fun.

Spontaneous Combustion, formed more than 20 years ago, is inspired by the ensemble’s enthusiasm for performing music of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. In addition to classic rock, the group also plays oldies and country music.

The band’s name reflects the fact that the original members were all volunteer firemen in various Long Island communities. Two of the current members are still active volunteer firemen. The group consists of keyboardist Carl Schreiber, a Glen Head resident and CTI member; Ken Lang of Woodbury on guitar and vocals; Steve Jones of Mineola on guitar and vocals; Frank Chester of Williston Park on bass guitar and vocals; Don Amira of East Williston on percussion and vocals; and Mickey Giehl of Setauket on drums and vocals.

Admission to CTI’s Spontaneous Combustion dance party is $20 for adults, $25 at the door, and $10 for those 18 and under. Soft drinks and snacks are included in the admission price; a cash bar will be available. All proceeds from the dance party support CTI and its programs. Reservations are requested by Oct. 13.

For reservations, call CTI at 516-676-5080 or email office@ctionline.org.

Long Island’s oldest continuously operating Jewish congregation, Congregation Tifereth Israel has provided Jewish programming and education to the Long Island community since 1897.

CTI is located in Glen Cove at 40 Hill St. at the intersection with Landing Road.
