“Give it a whirl!”

Hi Strands fans. The hardest part of today's puzzle is the spangram, with both the first and last letters of BALLROOMDANCE touching each other in the middle of a row.

But I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. I immediately saw the word FOXTROT in the bottom-left corner, which made the theme obvious right away - especially as it also cordoned off SALSA to the right.

The stray 'Z' in the middle of the board could only be part of WALTZ, and that created a gap to find the twisty spangram mentioned above which ended up completely surrounding it.

QUICKSTEP came next, written along the top of the spangram, which allowed me to spell JIVE backwards next to the 'P'. That left a single word to find: I connected RUMBA and finished the puzzle in a pretty solid time.
