The ISTD Quickstep Syllabus is the official technical reference for International Standard Quickstep published by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD). Used by dance teachers, examination candidates, adjudicators, and competitive ballroom dancers worldwide, this PDF ebook presents the complete Quickstep syllabus from Student Teacher through Associate, Licentiate, and Fellow levels.

Each figure is analysed using the standard ISTD format, including foot positions, alignment, footwork, amount of turn, rise and fall, CBM, sway, timing, precedes and follows, and technical notes. These charts help dancers understand not only how each figure is danced but also how figures connect correctly within the syllabus.
