KEPURINE--THE HAT DANCE

THIS IS FOR 8 COUPLES, BUT STARTS OUT WITH ONLY THE GIRLS.
THE GIRLS HAVE LARGE STRAW HATS AND DANCE SLOWLY, AS IF WORK-
ING IN THE FIELDS. BUT WHEN THE BOYS COME OUT, THEY PLAY
FOR A WHILE--DANCE REAL FAST. BUT THEN THEY GO BACK TO
WORK, AND ONLY TILL THEY DANCE OUT THE MOTIONS OF WORK TILL THE
WORK IS DONE, DO THEY END THE DANCE WITH A POLKA.
