Expecting me to settle a baffle about dance shifts is appreciate asking my labrador get backr to carry out uncover-heart sguidery. I’m so far out of my soothe zone I might as well be on another scheduleet. That I still regulated to discover all of the answers points to this one being mildly difficult, rather than outright challenging.
The key is in the spangram, because once you knovel the theme was DANCEMOVES – which the theme clue of ‘Everybody cut footfree!’ might have given away, but which a couple of answers probably will have done anyway – then that spangram will have stood out. MOONWALK is also a relatively clear one that gets up a lot of space, and though I necessitateed a couple of hints, I was able to get most by trial and error. I have no idea what the FLOSS is, though.
