Questions and Answers for Ballroom Examinations is one of Alex Moore’s classic study guides for dancers and teachers preparing for professional ballroom dance examinations. Written in a practical question-and-answer format, the book provides a structured way to review technical knowledge, making it an excellent companion to The Revised Technique of Ballroom Dancing, which readers are expected to know before using this guide.
Instead of teaching complete routines, the book focuses on the questions commonly asked during ballroom examinations. Candidates are encouraged to demonstrate figures while answering, helping reinforce both theoretical understanding and practical technique. The opening section also explains the technical abbreviations used throughout the book, including CBM, CBMP, LOD, PP, Rise and Fall, Footwork, and other standard ballroom terminology.
The material is organised into dedicated sections covering the four International Standard dances:
- Waltz
- Quickstep
- Foxtrot
- Tango
Each chapter contains numerous examination-style questions covering subjects such as:
- Figure alignments
- Foot positions and footwork
- Rise and Fall
- CBM and CBMP
- Sway and body movement
- Timing and rhythm
- Amount of turn
- Balance and posture
- Common figure precedes and follows
- Technique required for Associate, Member and Fellow examinations
Because every topic is presented in concise question-and-answer form, the ebook is especially useful for revision before teaching qualifications, medal tests, and professional ballroom examinations. It also serves as a valuable reference for instructors who wish to review technical details quickly during lessons.
Whether you are preparing for an examination, teaching International Standard Ballroom, or strengthening your technical knowledge, Questions and Answers for Ballroom Examinations remains a practical reference from one of ballroom dancing’s most respected authors.
