With the massive development and structural evolution of the International Ballroom style over recent years, it has become absolutely necessary to update the traditional guidelines.

Formed by a specialized technical committee of the Imperial Ballroom Faculty, this book is the result of exhaustive deliberation to produce a modernized, mathematically sound Ballroom technique. Featuring a slightly modified, user-friendly layout, this textbook provides the exact analytical clarity a student needs when studying for professional teaching degrees or elite medal examinations.
