At the Maryland Line dances, the usual order of events was: a Paul Jones circle mixer, a set of two square dances and 3 round dances which might include a waltz, a polka, a slow country song, a schottische, a rock and roll dance as well as such novelty dances as the Hokey Pokey, Alley Cat, the Stroll and the Bunny Hop. This cycle was then repeated throughout the dance which ran from 8:30 until midnight with a break in the middle.
