Thanks for mentioning this, Mavis.... As a somewhat bony person, I did this dance at Folklife a few years back. The lines are very long there and the dances sometimes go on for quite a while. By halfway through the dance my hip was KILLING me and I was begging my neighbors to stop bumping me. I gotta say, it's not one of my favorite dances.

I teach the bump bump for the A1
but I always tell folks after It each it and before we start the dance that if doing the bump bump hurts their back, their hip or their vanity - they can just do the regular balance & swing. Works either way!
 Most folks opt for the bump bump!

Mavis, in Lynn's improper variation, where do you do the
Carmen thing - A1 w/ Ns? or both then and B1 w/ P?

Yes, I too thought it was by Lisa Greenleaf - but when I
called it in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, a dancer
came up after and told me he thought it was by Kathy
Anderson. Trying to discover the truth online, I then found
the Paul Balliet reference too... yikes. Carmen seems very
popular amongst dance creators!

I'd love to see all of these Carmen dances to compare
them. Anyone have them?

Tina

Hi callers -

I've been calling this goofy, fun dance
that
I
learned while dancing as "Carmen's
Scarf." I
want to ascribe it correctly. When I looked
online, I
found
references to (w/o the dance) for a Carmen's
Scarf
by
Paul Balliet and a Carmen's Hat by Kathy
Anderson.
Do
any of you know which one I've got here?
Thanks! -
Tina
