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)
