ISTD Questions & Answers: Cha Cha Cha is a technical examination study book by Elisabeth Romain, published by DSI London. Written for dancers, teachers and examination candidates studying International Latin Cha Cha Cha, it brings together 129 questions and answers covering the theoretical knowledge associated with the ISTD Latin American examination system.
Rather than presenting a conventional step-by-step syllabus, the book uses a question-and-answer format to help readers review technical principles, clarify terminology and test their understanding of Cha Cha Cha.
129 Questions & Answers for ISTD Examination Preparation
The material is organised into four examination levels: Student, Associate, Licentiate and Fellow. This structure allows readers to focus on the knowledge relevant to their current stage of study while providing a reference for more advanced qualifications.
Topics addressed include:
- Cha Cha Cha timing and musical understanding
- Footwork and technical principles
- Dance terminology and figure knowledge
- Alignment and movement concepts
- Syllabus requirements and examination theory
- Technical questions relevant to professional dance teaching
The question-and-answer format is particularly useful for identifying gaps in knowledge and revisiting technical details that may be overlooked during practical dance training.

A Practical Reference for Dance Teachers and Candidates
Preparing for a professional dance examination involves more than demonstrating figures correctly. Candidates must also be able to explain technical concepts, recognise terminology and communicate their understanding of the dance.
This book provides a focused way to review those subjects. Teachers can use the questions to structure revision sessions, while examination candidates can work through the material independently or discuss their answers with an instructor.
It is also a useful companion to the ISTD Latin American Cha Cha Cha syllabus book, allowing readers to study the prescribed technique alongside examination-oriented questions.
