This official supplement expands upon the principles presented in Technique of Latin Dancing by providing technical analyses of the additional figures listed in the British Dance Council Appendix 1 (Latin). The book explains foot positions, footwork, timing, body turns, shaping, precedes and follows for each figure using the established Laird technique, making it a valuable study guide for syllabus training, coaching, competition preparation, and professional examinations. The preface also explains that the publication was produced to analyze Appendix figures not included in the standard IDTA Latin syllabus while maintaining consistent technical standards.
