Having never partaken in a LINEDANCE — unless doing the moves to the Superman Dance at a holiday park in the 1990s counts — my initial thoughts after getting SHUFFLE was that this was a search for words that meant slow movement.
After getting KICK I was completely confused and a hint of COASTER still left me none the wiser.
The turning point was seeing dance and then LINEDANCE, but I still labored my way around the board in an uncoordinated fashion.
Subsequently I have learned that all of these words describe types of line dance rather than moves as such. All wonderful fun, but with my dodgy knees I doubt I’ll be doing the PONY anytime soon.

Happy Lei Day, Hawaiians.
Having never been to Hawaii — the closest I’ve got is a shirt I owned in the late 1990s — I feared I would struggle my way around today’s board, but the reality was that it could not have been easier.
It’s a testament to how much Hawaiian culture has permeated around the globe that I was familiar with all of today's words, with the exception of MACADAMIA — which I did not know had a strong link to the islands (I thought they were Australian). It was also a very tricky word to piece together and took me a couple of attempts to get in the right order.

The phrase “wet blankets” is used to describe someone who soaks the enjoyment out of a situation.
After failing to spot “killjoy”, the most obvious word connected to this theme, on the board I decided that we were looking for a more literal connection to wet blankets which could only mean CONDENSATION.
The two Zs helped me find DRIZZLE and from here on it was a synonym search, although among them AEROSOL was not one I expected.
