Bagpipe music for Scottish Country dances -Reply

Wait for 2 bars, bow/curtsey for 2 bars. With a reel or jig played on the pipes,
you will hear 2 strong beats of the music per bar, so count to 4 and then
bow/curtsey to a count of 4.

Would someone care to comment on phrasing the bows & curtsies in a four bar
intro?
This seems to be a problem for most dancers, especially with pipes.
