Hi!

I have a question! Can anybody tell me something about the current IDTA syllabus in Latin (and also in Ballroom)? Where can I find it on the internet? I mean the ISTD syllabus is easy to find because it is puplished almost evrywhere. But the IDTA syllabus is kept secret I think or I find an older version. Is there a possibility to find out?
Thnk you!

Babamm, Google " Walter Laird IDTA" .
The book costs 35 Pounds and can be bought online.

The Latin Technique adopted by IDTA is Walter Laird's, and the Ballroom Technique is Guy Howard's. Neither book contains the current syllabus, but you could not make a serious study of the syllabus content for professional examinations without these texts.

The current syllabus is not published online, as far as I know, but in a slim volume called "Profesional and Amateur Dance Syllabus". The current syllabus was revised in 2006, and copies cost 8 GBP, direct from the IDTA shop, and it is also resold through third parties (usually for more).

The IDTA does not use the Supplement by Walter Lairdany more. The figures are not in the syllabus. Why not? Does anybody know why they left it out?

The Fallaway Reverse Turn & Slip Pivot is described in the IDTA ballroom technique book but it is not in the IDTA syllabus. Does anyone know why?

What makes you think its not there? It is in the current Professional Syllabus (Fellowship) and is listed on page 15.

In the IDTA syllabus The Fallaway Reverse is not mentioned in the Tango or waltz, only in Foxtrott (Fellow).
It is mentioned in the book but how do I know if the figure is a Gold figure or Silver figur and so on.
Others are not even mentioned in the syllabus but mentioned in the book such as an Outside Change in Foxtrot. Same question: how do I know which level it is.

And what about the Supplement by Walter Laird? The IDTA does not mention it at all! Why? Is it not allowed to dance these figures? I think the figures in there are great!
