Answer: foxtrot

Foxtrot is one of the classics of ballroom dancing. A technically demanding dance, the foxtrot is a sort of confluence of the quickstep and the waltz. Purportedly, actor Harry Fox gave his name to the dance after popularising it in the 1920s.
4. Rebus: find synonyms for the words below and combine them to make a dance. Rapid + tread

Answer: quickstep

As the name suggests, the quickstep is a fast ballroom dance involving complex footwork. The dance is usually accompanied by brisk, up-beat jazz music, characteristic of the era in which it was popularised.
5. Fractured word: simply say what you see and the name of a dance should come to mind. Poker

Answer: polka

Polka, which stems from the Czech for 'Polish woman', came to fruition during the early twentieth century in Europe, and was one of the faster growing dances of that time in terms of popularity.
6. Fractured word: simply say what you see and the name of a dance should come to mind. Flamingo

Answer: flamenco

One of Spain's contributions to dance was the flamenco, a lively dance that is today popular all over the world. The flamenco is considered by some to have been created by the gypsies of the Andalusian region from which this dance comes.
7. Anagram: take the capitalised words and anagram them to get a dance (the standalone I does not form part of the anagram). When I finished my dance, I struck A BOLD POSE.

Answer: pasodoble

Like the flamenco, the pasodoble originated in Spain, and the music is most associated with bullfights. Pasodoble music was played to mark the entrance of a bullfighter, and the dance evolved from the characteristic movements of the fighter.
8. Anagram: take the capitalised words and anagram them to get a dance (the standalone I does not form part of the anagram). While I was dancing, I saw an ant, and next to that, A TALLER ANT.

Answer: tarantella

Though it is an Italian dance, the tarantella was created in Ancient Greece. The dance derives from the concept of tarantism, a form of hysteria supposedly brought about after being bitten by a tarantula. Those affected would engage in a manic dancing as they believed it would save them from dying.
9. In Other Words: decipher the dance which has been written in different words. Rhythmic movement to a faucet

Answer: tap dance

Tap dance is named as such because of the participant's shoes tapping on the floor. Often, tap dancers have special shoes with metal plates attached to the soles of their shoes to produce a distinct tapping sound. The dance relies more on elaborate legwork than it does on music.
10. In Other Words: decipher the dance which has been written in different words. Move back and forth in an arc

Answer: swing

Swing was popularised by African Americans in the twentieth century, and soon spread to the rest of America and overseas. Swing dancing, which is one of the more common competitive dances, incorporates several different styles like the Charleston and the Lindy Hop.
