The ISTD Waltz Syllabus is the official technical reference for International Standard Waltz published by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD). Used worldwide by dance teachers, examination candidates, adjudicators, and competitive ballroom dancers, this PDF ebook presents the complete Waltz syllabus from Student Teacher through Associate, Licentiate, and Fellow levels.
Unlike general dance manuals, this syllabus explains every official figure using ISTD’s structured technical chart format. Each figure includes detailed information on foot positions, alignment, footwork, timing, amount of turn, rise and fall, CBM, sway, precedes and follows, and technical notes, allowing dancers to understand both the mechanics of individual figures and how they connect throughout the syllabus.
The manual begins with the fundamental Student Teacher figures before progressing through increasingly advanced material required for professional ISTD qualifications. In addition to the core syllabus, the Fellow section introduces advanced named variations that are widely studied by experienced teachers and competitors.
