Reverance is the term for which action?

• A. Curtsy
• B. Bow
• C. Greeting
• D. Salute

Answer: (A)

Reverence is the formal gesture of showing respect to the audience and teachers at the end of class or performance. In this context, it is performed as a curtsy—a graceful lowering of the body with a knee bend, traditionally used by dancers to acknowledge the audience. A bow is a similar gesture, but the term reverence in this setting is specifically tied to the curtsy. A greeting or a salute are different kinds of acknowledgments and don’t capture the standard end-of-session reverence in ballet vocabulary.
