<p>To me, the spanning eras one didn’t fit very well, but it made the most sense out of all of them. I think he only had one main style, the one that went against ballroom dancing, so I don’t think it was the choice about a variety of styles.</p>
<p>The definition of span is “to extend or reach over (space or time)” so I think that even though he didn’t dance in the 50’s, he still reached up to that time, so in a way he still spanned the era…?</p>
<p>I also got surprise and pleasure for the chinese one</p>
<p>I put that he spanned many eras. It didn’t really talk much about the different styles, just how he leaned towards the ground and did that toss. I was stuck between those two so I could be wrong, but that was my logic.</p>
<p>I put uncomprehending for the scientist one. Is that confirmed to be wrong? And is there a consolidated list?</p>
<p>I had CR as extra section, so some of the answers may not be the ones you were asked to complete. As for the rest, I am quite sure that they are the answers.</p>
