大屈膝礼
意为“大大的敬意/屈膝礼”。女舞者向观众答谢掌声时所行的隆重屈膝礼；也用于芭蕾课堂结束之时，表示学生对老师由衷的敬意与感谢。révérence 有若干类型。五位，右脚在后。向右迈右脚上步，同时左脚抬起至二位 pointe tendue，双臂打开至二位；左脚滑向身后四位成 demi-plié；重心移至左脚，伸直双膝，同时右脚向后绷直成四位 devant pointe tendue。当左脚滑入身后四位、双脚成 demi-plié 时，舞者向前俯身，双臂垂落至 bras bas，头低下。当重心移至后脚、头与上身重新立直时，双臂重新打开至二位。随后右脚收至五位 devant，révérence 可向另一侧再行一次。révérence 还可以加以修饰：在迈左脚进入身后四位 demi-plié 之前，先做一个 petit battement sur le cou-de-pied（在 devant 与 derrière 之间击打）。
Big reverence or curtsey. The elaborate curtsey performed by the female dancer to acknowledge the applause of the audience. It is also done at the end of a ballet class to show the respectful admiration of the pupils for their teacher. There are several types of révérence. Fifth position R foot back. Step to the right on the R foot, raising the L foot pointe tendue in second position and the arms to the second position; slide the L foot into a demi-plié in the fourth position derrière; transfer the weight to the L foot, straightening the knees as the R foot is stretched pointe tendue in the fourth position devant. As the L foot slides to the fourth position back into a demi-plié on both feet, the dancer bends forward and the arms drop to bras bas with the head lowered. When the weight is transferred to the back foot and the head and body straighten, the arms reopen to the second position. The R foot is then closed to the fifth position devant and the révérence may be repeated to the other side. The révérence may also be embellished with a petit battement sur le cou-de-pied (beating devant and derrière) before stepping on the L foot into the demi-plié in the fourth position derrière.
