  1. Look it up in the british royal dictionary.


  2. Perhaps you mean

    révérence (Fr., curtsey). The formal bow or curtsey, performed by dancers at the end of a class or performance.

    How do I bow/curtsey?

    Sweep one foot round about 30cm behind the other in a neat circular movement, bend your back leg at the knee, and incline your head and shoulders slightly forward.

    A lord may place one hand in front of his waist and the other out to the side; a lady should place both hands slightly out to her sides, just holding out her skirts, or palm out if her skirts are too narrow to hold out conveniently. This method has the advantage of being neat and graceful, without sticking your behind out in the air (which is what happens if you just bend at the waist!).

    Generally, don't sink to the floor or down on one knee, reserve this kind of reverence for when you are called forward in court, or salute the crown on the tourney field.

    best of luck to you!

  3. A Royal Reverence (curtsey) is a traditional gesture of greeting, in which a woman bends her knees while bowing her head. It is the female equivalent of male bowing in Western cultures.

    In more formal variants of the curtsey, the woman bends the knees outward (rather than straight ahead), often sweeping one foot behind her. She may also use her hands to hold her skirt out from her body.

    Traditionally, women would curtsey for those of senior social rank just as men would bow. In European cultures it is traditional for women to curtsey in front of royalty. It may then be referred to as a court curtsey and is often especially deep and elaborate. Further, some female domestic workers curtsey for their employers.

    Female dancers often curtsey at the end of a performance to show gratitude or acknowledge any applause from the audience. At the end of a ballet class, students will also curtsey or bow to the teacher and the pianist to show gratitude. According to Victorian dance etiquette, a woman curtseys before beginning a dance.
