Bring your dancing slippers to a rock and roll dance party, featuring the six-piece rock band, Spontaneous Combustion, on Saturday, Oct. 14, 7:30 p.m. at Congregation Tifereth Israel in Glen Cove.

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 as volunteer firemen.

The group consists of keyboardist Carl Schreiber, a Glen Head resident and CTI member; Ken Lang, also of Glen Head, on guitar and vocals; Steve Jones, from Mineola, on guitar and vocals; Frank Chester, of Williston Park, on bass guitar and vocals; Don Amira, an East Williston resident, 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 ($22 at the door) and $10 for those under age 18.

Soft drinks, snacks and desserts are included in the admission price; a cash bar will be available. All proceeds will go to help support CTI and its programs.

The party is open to the public. For reservations, call CTI at (516) 676-5080 or email lauren@ctionline.org.

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