NATD Waltz Technique Book

The NATD Waltz Technique Book is the official Waltz technique manual published by the National Association of Teachers of Dancing (NATD). Designed for dancers, instructors, and examination candidates, this ebook provides a complete technical guide to the International Standard Waltz using the official NATD syllabus and teaching methodology.

Beginning with the musical characteristics of Waltz—including time signature, tempo, rhythm counting, and accented beats—the book progresses through every prescribed figure from Preliminary Student to Gold (Fellow) level. Each figure is presented with detailed technical tables for both Leader and Follower, covering foot positions, alignment, amount of turn, rise and fall, footwork, sway, CBM, plus notes, precedes, and follows for correct syllabus progression.

Unlike a simple list of figures, this technique manual explains exactly how each movement should be danced, making it an invaluable reference for lesson preparation, medal tests, teacher training, and competitive ballroom development.
