Could someone please post or give me the email address for the timing of the latin and standerd competion dances given by ISTD, Thanks

try the ISTD website or failing that I know for a fact it's on the USISTD site

Two left feet. Find your way to the USISTD site for the tempo for Standard.
You won't find any tempo for Latin there though. Neither will you on the IDSF.If you are interested the last four IDSF Grand Slam competitions were danced as follows in the finals.
Samba 28 bpm. Cha 28. Rumba 24. Paso 63 Jive 44. I didn't count the Semi Finals only the Solo's plus the group dances. In the Standard dances they were all danced at the lowest recomended which is. Waltz 28 32.
Tango 30 32. Foxtrot 28 30.
Quickstep 48 52. V. Waltz 52 58. This was danced 56 bpm.I still think it is incredibly stupid not to have one tempo for each dance that should be exact world wide. It is understandable that in the past there was no control of the tempo and what was on the disk is what you got. Those days are no longer with us. I go for the lower end of the scale. Sorry two left feet if this turned into a lecture but its been a sore point with me for ages. I'm glad you brought it up. If anybody quotes from the manual, all I can say is it needs to be revived anually, and not as is for the next X number of years. Is that asking too much??

Over time, the tempi for dancing seem to be getting slower. Most ballroom CD slow waltzes, for example, are at 29BPM. Mind you, i find it more enjoyable to dance slow waltz at 28-29 rather than 30. It's amazing how much difference that small speed change makes. Perhaps it's because dancers are taller. Taller people probably (i can only speak for myself)find it more difficult to dance quickly.
Viennese at 56?? That would change the character of the dance.

Phil. You will find that many of the discs, especialy those by German orchestrer can be played without any modification straight off the disk. I doubt if this is an accident. If they were to take there direction from an already out of date dance book the situataion might be different.
