Hi Folks,
   A dance titled Carmen's Hat, by Kathy Anderson, appeared in my dance 
collection as early as April 1997. I don't know where I collected it but I use it 
vary sparingly as the action is oriented up & down the line more than 
across. The figures go as follows:

duple improper contra formation
A1	Star Left 1X
	Circle Right 3/4 (end facing Partner on Gent's home side)
A2	Clap own hands 2x and with Neighbor bump 2x / Neighbor Swing 
(in center of set) End facing Partner up or down hall
B1	Ladies Chain Along the line to Partner
	Promenade along the line ( Gents pass left) to original place
B2	Pass thru same Neighbors (up or down) to progressed places and 
Partner Swing in center of set. End Facing New Neighbors.

The Lisa Greenleaf version which I have noted as "Carmen's Hat" showed 
up in my cards sometime by July, 2003. Again, I don't have a source noted. 
It is pretty much what has been discussed.

duple improper contra formation

A1	Lines F & B
	Ladies Allmd Left 1 1/2
A2	Partner B & S
B1	Circle Left 3/4
	Neighbor D.S.D. 1 1/4
B2	Clap 2x Bump 2x with Neighbor & Swing Neighbor.

Of course the whole thing could be turned into a Becket dance by starting at 
B1. Perhaps Lisa G. will pitch in her 2 cents worth. Thanks to Lisa for 
making the dance more accessible. It is a fun change of pace.

Cheers,		John
