WDSF-Figurenkatalog Einleitung Der WDSF Figurenkatalog stellt eine Liste der Grundfiguren und Aktionen dar, die in jedem Turnier mit begrenztem Figurenkatalog (basic-only) verwendet werden dürfen.

1 WDSF-Figurenkatalog Einleitung Der WDSF Figurenkatalog stellt eine Liste der Grundfiguren und Aktionen dar, die in jedem Turnier mit begrenztem Figurenkatalog (basic-only) verwendet werden dürfen. Der Figurenkatalog ist für alle Kinder I und Kinder II Turniere bindend. Der Hauptgrund für eine solche Figurenliste ist das Einschränken der Menge von Figurenmaterial für Kinder und Anfänger, sodass mehr Beachtung auf die Beherrschung von grundlegenden Bewegungsabläufen, Technik und rhythmischem Aufbau der jeweiligen Tänze gelegt werden kann. Der neue WDSF Figurenkatalog ist modernisiert und erweitert worden und ermöglicht viele neue Figurenverbindungen. Es ist strikt untersagt, eine Figur zu verwenden, die nicht in der Liste enthalten ist. Auf nationaler Ebene kann der Figurenkatalog strenger sein (weniger Figuren enthalten). Es wird empfohlen, dass alle WDSF Mitgliedsverbände den WDSF Figurenkatalog als ihren Nationalen Figurenkatalog übernehmen. Das würde für die Paare in den Startklassen, in denen die Schrittbegrenzung gilt, bei internationalen Turnieren die Teilnahme vereinfachen. Die Figuren im Figurenkatalog sind mit den Namen aufgeführt, unter denen sie in den WDSF Technikbüchern stehen. Wenn die Figuren unter einem anderen allgemein üblichen Namen bekannt sind, wird dieser in Klammern angegeben. Einige Figuren und Aktionen sind hinzugefügt worden, die nicht unter dem jeweiligen Tanz in den WDSF Technikbüchern stehen. Der Grund dafür ist, mehr Möglichkeiten für Choreographien innerhalb der Schrittbegrenzung an die Hand zu geben. Die hinzugefügten Figuren oder Aktionen sind dann bereits Teil des Figurenkataloges in einem anderen Tanz. Hinweise dazu gibt es in dem Technikbuch, in dem die Figur beschrieben ist. Von jeder Figur sind der erste Schritt (Start) und der letzte Schritt (Ende) beschrieben. Das ermöglicht eine einfachere Kombination der Figuren. Der Grundrhythmus wird ebenfalls aufgeführt. Die unterhalb jeder Figur angegebenen NOTES beschreiben die möglichen alternativen Timings. Jede Veränderung der Figuren, die erlaubt ist, wird in den NOTES unterhalb der Figuren angegeben. Nur die NOTES, die für die choreographischen Möglichkeiten relevant sind, werden aufgeführt. Alle technischen Details müssen aus den WDSF Technikbüchern bezogen werden. Teile einer Figur dürfen verwendet werden, wenn sie in den NOTES so beschrieben sind. Es ist nicht erlaubt, Figuren beliebig aufzuteilen und so in Teilen zu verwenden. VORHER und NACHER sind nicht vorgegeben. Es kann Bezug genommen werden auf die Kreuzverweis Tabelle in den WDSF Technikbüchern. Beim Erstellen einer Choreographie ist jede Kombination von Figuren aus dem Figurenkatalog erlaubt, sofern die technische Beschreibung und die NOTES beachtet werden. Die Drehungsumfänge, die in den WDSF Technikbüchern vorgegeben werden, sind ein Leitfaden und können leicht verändert werden, wenn es zum Erstellen der Choreographie notwendig erscheint. Es dürfen keine Teile von Figuren hinzugefügt oder weggelassen werden, es sei denn, es ist in den NOTES speziell erlaubt. Übersetzung aus dem englischen Original von Petra Matschullat-Horn

16 1 Introduction The WDSF Syllabus represents a list of basic figures and actions that may be used in any competition with restricted Syllabus (basic- only). It is obligatory for all Juvenile I and Juvenile II competitions. The main reason for having a list of figures is to restrict the amount of the choreographic material for children and beginners, so there can be more attention given to mastering the basic mechanics, technique, and rhythmical structures of each dance. The new WDSF Syllabus has been modernized and expanded and gives many new possible combinations of figures. It is strictly not allowed to use any figure that is not on the list. On a national level the syllabus can be stricter (containing fewer figures). It is recommended that all WDSF member bodies adopt the WDSF Syllabus as their national Syllabus. That would simplify the participation in the international competitions for all competitors in basic categories. The figures in the Syllabus are listed by the name they have in the WDSF Technique Books. If the figures are popularly known by another name, that name is given in the brackets. Some figures and actions are added, that are not in the WDSF books for the dance in question. The reason for this is to give more options when constructing basic choreography. The figures or actions added are those that are already part of the syllabus in another dance. The reference is given to the book where the figure is described. Each figure has a description of the first step (Start) and last step (Finish).This is to assist in easier combinations of the figures. The basic timing is also given. The notes bellow each figure give you the alternative possible timings. Any changes to the figures that are allowed are given in the NOTES bellow the figure. Only the notes that are relevant to the choreographic possibilities are given. For all the technical details you have to refer to the WDSF Technique Books. Parts of a figure may be used if so described in the notes. You are not allowed to freely cut a figure into parts and use them. The precedes and follows are not given. You may refer to a cross reference table in the WDSF Technique Books.

17 When constructing choreography any combination of syllabus figures is allowed, as long as the technical description and the notes are respected. The Quantities of Turn given in the WDSF Technique Books are a guideline and may change slightly when necessary in order to construct choreography. You may not add or take away parts of the figure, unless that is specifically allowed in the notes. 2 List of Figures in Standard 2.1 Waltz Closed Change on RF Closed Change on LF Natural Turn Reverse Turn Progressive Chasse to R Whisk Back Whisk Outside Change Basic Weave Chasse from PP Backward Lock Open Natural Turn Hesitation Change Natural Spin Turn Double Reverse Spin Telemark Telemark to PP Weave from PP Impetus Impetus to PP Drag Hesitation Outside Spin Natural Turning Lock Reverse Turning Lock Wing Wing from PP 27.Cross Hesitation from PP Reverse Pivot Fallaway Natural Turn Running Weave from PP 31.Running Spin Turn Overturned Running Spin Turn
