Ballet Révérence for all ages - bow / curtsy, give respect & appreciation

In ballet, we show appreciation and respect with a beautiful bow or curtsy at the end (and sometimes also at the beginning) of our class and performance. We acknowledge the lineage of dance artistry, our teachers, the musicians, each other, and the dancing space.

We may follow a set movement pattern or improvisation by our teacher, using beautiful port de bras or arm movements, bows, and then applause and thanks. It is a very nice touch to thank the teacher and musician(s) personally afterwards as well, as well as smile and greet our fellow dancers.

This sequence is appropriate for dancers of all ages and is fun to perform as a pantomime story or song with kids. Everyone can benefit from the graceful movements and sense of respect and acknowledgement.
