Bowing 101: The Art of Swaying to the Beat of Your Own Drum

Lesson 1: The Basics

First, you must master the fundamental bowing techniques. This includes:

• Keeping your back straight (no slouching allowed)
• Relaxing your shoulders (tense up, you'll just end up like a cat in a bathtub)
• Holding your bow stick like it's a delicate egg
• Moving your bow in a flowing, majestic arc

Lesson 2: Advanced Techniques

Now that you've mastered the basics, it's time to get all fancy:

• Bowing to a beat that nobody's listening to
• Making your bow stick dance like a ballerina on a pogo stick
• Adding in some flair with your bowing (optional, but highly recommended)
• Not tripping over your own feet (a skill that takes practice)
