Notes on the ISTD Syllabus

The syllabus to the left is the most recent iteration, taken from 
the 10th edition of the Ballroom Technique by Alex Moore, last 
amended in July 1994.

All competitions prescribing the ISTD syllabus use this list of 
figures, with some regional differences noted below. 
A note on Syllabus Amalgamations
For figures 10 and 16, 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,
Passing Natural Turn, and the Outside Swivel. For the sake of clarity, 
here are step patterns in their smallest possible units:
10. Open Telemark
11. Feather Ending
...
17. Passing Natural Turn
18. Outside Swivel
Exceptions: German dancers competing D-Class/C-Class syllabus 
standard under DTV rules must observe the following exceptions:
a) Additional Figure: Back Feather (as an independent figure).
