The answers to today's Strands, game #162, are FLOSS TWERK MOONWALK VOGUE 
HUSTLE PIROUETTE SPANGRAM: DANCEMOVES My rating: Moderate My score: 2 hints 

Expecting me to solve a puzzle about dance moves is like asking my labrador 
retriever to perform open-heart surgery. I'm so far out of my comfort zone I 
might as well be on another planet. That I still managed to find all of the 
answers points to this one being moderately difficult, rather than outright 
hard. 

The key is in the spangram, because once you knew the theme was DANCEMOVES  
which the theme clue of 'Everybody cut footloose!' 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 obvious one that takes up 
a lot of space, and though I needed a couple of hints, I was able to get most 
by trial and error. I have no idea what the FLOSS is, though.
