ISTD Questions & Answers: Paso Doble is a technical examination study book written by Elisabeth Romain, an ISTD Fellow and Examiner. It contains 179 examination-style questions and answers covering the theoretical knowledge associated with International Latin Paso Doble, from Student through Associate, Licentiate and Fellow levels.
The book is organised as a focused revision guide rather than a conventional syllabus manual. Its question-and-answer format encourages readers to examine the technical reasoning behind Paso Doble movements, review established terminology and prepare for the theoretical aspects of ISTD professional examinations.
179 Paso Doble Examination Questions & Answers
Paso Doble requires an understanding of its distinctive movement character, body shaping, timing and partner coordination. This book supports the study of those elements through technical questions addressing:
- Timing and musical interpretation: Understanding the rhythmic structure and musical accents of Paso Doble
- Footwork and alignment: Reviewing foot positions, movement directions and technical execution
- Body actions and shaping: Examining characteristic Paso Doble positions and movement principles
- Lead and follow: Understanding partner coordination and changes of position
- Figure analysis: Revising syllabus figures and their technical requirements
- Technical terminology: Developing familiarity with the language used in professional examinations
- Teaching knowledge: Reviewing concepts relevant to explaining and demonstrating Paso Doble technique
The questions provide a practical way to assess theoretical understanding and identify subjects requiring further study.

A Study Companion for ISTD Examinations
Professional dance examinations assess a candidate’s ability to explain technique as well as demonstrate it. ISTD Questions & Answers: Paso Doble offers a structured resource for reviewing the theoretical material associated with those requirements.
Candidates can work through the questions independently, while dance teachers and coaches can use them during revision sessions to discuss movement principles and assess technical understanding.
The book is particularly useful alongside ISTD Latin American Paso Doble (6th Edition), which provides the corresponding syllabus figures and technical charts. Together, the two references support both figure study and examination theory.
