ISTD Latin American Dance Faculty – Rumba Syllabus is a comprehensive syllabus reference video designed to complement the ISTD Latin American technique book by providing a clear visual demonstration of the official Rumba syllabus figures and their correct technique.
Presented by Lorna Lee, the syllabus is demonstrated by Andrius Kandelis & Egle Kandelis and Ralf Muller & Olga Muller-Omeltchenko. Each figure is demonstrated step-by-step, showing how the movement is constructed and performed.
The figures are presented with and without music, incorporating important elements such as lead, shape, style, and partnering. The program also includes alternative endings and developments, providing additional insight into how syllabus figures can be connected and developed while maintaining their fundamental technical principles.
Designed as a reference for both Amateur and Professional dancers, this program is particularly useful for ISTD examination preparation and for competitors dancing in restricted syllabus events. Individual figures can be referenced directly, making it convenient to review a particular Rumba action or figure whenever clarification is needed.
Originally released on DVD, this ISTD Rumba syllabus program is now offered as an MP4 digital video.
