International Standard Bronze Quickstep Syllabus

A strong foundation is essential for developing the light, flowing movement that characterises International Standard Quickstep. In this instructional program, Victor Veyrasset & Heather Smith present the Bronze syllabus through a structured progression that begins with the fundamentals before introducing the complete Bronze figures.

The lessons open with posture, hold, basic movement, and preparation, providing the technical foundation for the syllabus. Each figure is then demonstrated and explained in sequence, allowing dancers to build confidence while understanding how the figures connect within the dance.

The program covers the complete Bronze syllabus, including quarter turns, progressive chassés, lock steps, natural turns, spin turns, pivots, and reverse actions. Demonstration sections throughout the video show how the individual figures combine into complete dance sequences, followed by a full Quickstep demonstration.

With approximately 127 minutes of instruction, this video serves as a valuable reference for dancers learning the Bronze syllabus, teachers preparing classes, and anyone wishing to strengthen their understanding of International Standard Quickstep.
