Fawn got a pretty ribbon and Casper danced (3,3,6)

I believe the answer is:

bow and scrape

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fawn' is the definition.
(both can mean to act obsequiously)

'a pretty ribbon and casper danced' is the wordplay.
'a pretty ribbon' becomes 'bow' (I am not sure about the 'pretty' bit.).
'danced' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'dancing' mean this).
'casper' with letters rearranged gives 'scrape'.
'bow'+'and'+'scrape'='BOW AND SCRAPE'

'got' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bow and scrape that I've seen before include "Be obsequious" , "Grovel" , "show subservience" , "Behave obsequiously" , "Two ways to fiddle" .)
