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?

want to ascribe it correctly. When I looked

Do

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!

New subject: Carmen's Garments
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 agree, Joyce! it's a novelty dance, and I wouldn't call it more
than once in a three year period at this point, and not for a hall
full of experienced dancers.
The original idea was Kathy Anderson's Carmen's Hat, and then I wrote
Carmen's Contra.
