Honour

Also known as: Honor, Bows and Curtsies.

An online definition may be found here.

Bars: 2.

Bow or curtsy. Playford occasionally uses this as a separate figure, and with Cotillions, Quadrilles, etc. the first 8 bars of the dance were given over to honours (even though the dance description did not mention them)

History

Playford used "honour" as a figure from the first. In Graies Inne Mask, 1651 he says: Honour all, salute. But the use died out with very few after 1700.

Cecil Sharp added quite a lot of extra honours not called for by Playford in his interpretations.

Cecil Sharp says:

This a formal obeisance made by partners to one another at the conclusion, and sometimes in the course, of the dance. The man bows, head erect, making a slight forward inclination of the body from the hips; the woman, placing her left foot behind the right, makes a quick downward and upward movement by bending and straightening the knees.
