I have been studying pro-am teachers' repertoires very closely for many years, specifically for the purpose of writing our syllabus. So I think you'll find that the syllabus I posted previously is a very accurate representation of the material currently being used. The additional figures I mentioned are those that are not part of our syllabus, but are nonetheless popular and useful. I think you'll find that the two together comprise a nearly complete list. Although I did have a couple of additional thoughts:

-- Open Circling Runs, though not considered a continuity action, are comprised of multiple consecutive passing steps, so would likely be frowned upon by an invigilator. Best to strike those from the list.

-- Add to the list Opening Outs to L and/or R. (They're the less goofy version of the Curtsies).

-- The introductory bow & curtsy is a popular Viennese intro in both American and International style. It's not a syllabus figure per-se; It is simply done as a convention.

-- I've seen Right- and Left-Side Roll-Ins quite often. Their inclusion doesn't seem to break any NDCA rules, but I don't recommend it. By most accounts they're considered a Silver or Gold level move, and they don't exist in Bronze in any syllabus I know of. Whether one chooses to use these and other similarly questionable patterns depends on whether they're concerned with what's appropriate for the level (not to mention fair), or whether they're more interested in seeing what they can "get away with". If you're looking for maximum variety, you can probably get away with them.

I think it would be wise when answering
to make it clear on which style of dancing you are writting about.
It is possible that answering a posting that was refering to American Smooth Viennese Waltz. In between that, there might be another refering to the International Style Viennese Waltz. To somebody who might be a beginner this could be very confusing not realizing that you are answering a posting two or three or four ahead.

There has been some postings cocerning American Smooth. If I understand correctly some people are concerned that that there are many moves in that dance which are being taught but with most never used. Feel free to correct me if my understanding of this is wrong. We only have at the most a minute and a half on the floor which would make it impossible to do even a fraction of the moves that are being taught in the studios..
Having said that I will quote our New Dancesport President Craig Wilson Refering to Australian New Vogue 1. Ensure that New Vogue has the same opportunity as Standard and Latin American to be complimented by further use of artistic interpretation .
2. Allow for advanced styling
3. Increase rhythmetic styling
4. Ensure the style keeps a modern progressive look in comparison to Standard and Latin American.
5. Ensure the style looks inviting to new participants. End of Quote.
Too many people get stuck in the mud. Some would still have us doing a Lock Step instead of a Feather Step in the Foxtrot as they used to in 1921. In 1922 it changed to what we know today. Thanks to Josephine Bradley who was not a stick in the mud.
