Notes on the IDTA Syllabus

The syllabus to the left is the most recent iteration, taken from 
the Professional and Amateur Dance Syllabus published by the IDTA, 
last amended in February 2010. All competitions prescribing the IDTA 
syllabus use this list of figures. 

Competitors should always check which step list they must 
adhere to. We cannot be held responsible for reprimands or 
disqualifications based on following an incorrect list. 

Unlike the ISTD syllabus, we have had to leave the Additional Figures 
to the end due to the fact that there is no indication at which level 
they are to be danced.
A note on Syllabus Amalgamations
For figures 11 through 15, the syllabus can produce the false 
impression that these are the only permissible combinations. 
In reality, there are several precedes and follows for the 
Open Telemark, Feather Ending, Open Impetus, Weave from PP,
Passing Natural Turn and Outside Swivel. For the sake of clarity, 
here are step patterns in their smallest possible units:
11. Closed Telemark
12. Open Telemark
13. Feather Ending
14. Passing Natural Turn
15. Outside Swivel
16. Open Impetus
17. Weave from PP
