We all deserve to take a bow, take a moment for ourselves to acknowledge a job well done, and allow others to show their gratitude to us. In the penultimate class of our series with @thisworks, RAD teachers Imogen Knight and Reena Bhattacharjee will take you through this theatrical tradition. We are also joined by guest artists @bellabrouwers and @sdynott from @englishnationalballet , who show us how the pros end a performance. #royalacademyofdance #thisworks #dance #ballet #selfcare #rethinksummer
