“Early opera and ballet performances took place during the Renaissance and then the French courts in the 18th and 19th centuries,” says Lynn Garafola, a dance historian, journalist and professor at Barnard College. “Anytime a duke or sovereign was present, everyone completed elaborate bows as a sign of respect. Performers’ bows were initially related to that.”
