A '''reverance''' is a [[renaissance]] way of showing respect to a [[dance]] partner/s and is commonly used before and after dancing. However, sometimes it is regarded as part of the dance itself.

It is a mixture of what we now think of as [[bow]]ing and [[curtsey]]ing. There are a few variations, but a key component is that both knees must be bent and there is no requirement that the upper body bends forward. The position and movements of feet seem to differ.
