Mastering the Wave and Curtsy

Today we are going to take a look at two things princesses are well known for, The Princess Wave and Curtsying.
First we will work on Curtsying. A curtsy is one way a princess may greet someone she is meeting. To curtsy you must place you right foot over you left foot near your big toe or the end of you glass slipper.
                                                       

Bend slightly with your knees leaning forward ever so little. To add the finishing touch stretch your arms out to the side of you with your elbows bent inward and your middle finger and thumb touching. It’s as simple as that!
                                                          

Depending on who you are greeting depends on how big your curtsy is. If you are meeting say a queen or king your curtsy must be a very deep with your head bent down, if you are greeting some one less important then give a smaller curtsy. If you are wearing a ball gown when you curtsy then take up the sides of the gown between you middle finger and thumb, if you are simply in a knee skirt, pants, or pajamas then just place you arms to the side like shown.
The Princess Wave is very popular to all princesses, there are two different ways you can do the wave pick which ever one suits you self the best.
The first way is simple and sweet, look at the palm of your hand and make a small cup with all your fingers touching as if Tinker Bell was going to land in your hand.
                                                     

Then with your hand ready raise it up into the air so your elbow is even with your shoulder, and then start moving your wrist side to side with slow small motions, you don’t want to tire your self.
The second Princess Wave is a little bit more complicated, you start out the same as the first wave the difference some in when it is time to wave. Instead of just moving your wrist you star by moving your elbow in small circles not to wide, and then move your wrist in the same circle motion as your elbows.
Which ever wave you choose I’m sure it will look wonderful because it’s the Princess that is doing the wave that really matters.
I know you can’t see me but I’m waving goodbye to you.
