Sweep across social partner dancing, line and formation dancing, street and club styles, stage choreography and the named figures printed in competitive syllabi. Anything with a name people actually use for a repeatable movement counts, from a single step to a whole routine; freestyle improvisation, unnamed gestures and broad dance styles do not.

How to approach it

Sort your candidates into columns before you start reeling them off: partner dancing, line and formation work, street and club styles, stage and screen choreography, plus the short routines that travel across feeds. Empty one column before moving to the next, since each carries its own naming grammar and a vocabulary of figures that outsiders rarely hear. When obvious entries dry up, switch from recall to reconstruction: ask what a teacher would call a given shape, what a caller would shout, what a caption writer would put under a clip. Test every candidate against the wording, because a name in real use qualifies while an elegant description you invented does not, and hold spelling variants and translated titles in reserve, since the reveal rewards near misses but never forgives something that was never named.

Get a hint

Almost every dance tradition names its figures, so the pool runs far wider than the styles that surface first; work through decades, regions and settings instead of settling on one scene.

A little more

Notice how the labels get made: some describe the shape or animal the body imitates, some count beats aloud, some borrow the track that popularised them, some simply name the footwork mechanics.

One step further

Beyond the well-known scenes, work the long tail: two-word figures from partner-dance syllabi, step lists traded between line dancers, and short routines that travel across feeds, including titles built from numbers or counted beats.

Why these answers count

Reach of vocabulary, not familiarity, decided most of the scoring. The lone 100-point entry, Big Apple, was also the strangest name in the set, which matches a pattern where the first player to think of something genuinely unexpected takes the top band alone. The enormous 85-point tier, 2,033 recorded answers, absorbed everything from 1, 2 Step and Agadoo to Airwalk and Anchor Step: labels that mean a great deal inside one scene but seldom arrive first to a general audience. The 60-point shelf held only 243 answers, kept for the handful of moves nearly everyone reaches for, and that saturation is exactly what pushed them down. Specificity separated most of the neighbours: a figure with a fixed name, a documented origin and a place in a syllabus out-earned a loose label describing the same action. Rarity, not difficulty, set the price, so a forgotten formation call and the title of a viral clip could land in the same band.
