Now that we've had 4 weeks I thought we have enough data to start to see who looks favored by the not quite so random hat and who is not.Putting the dances into groupings can be troublesome but here is how I broke it down.
% Related Style Overview.
1. Non-Partner Dances, Traditional Dance (Contemp/Jazz/Broadway/Ballet/World)
2. Partner Dances (Latin/Ballroom/Disco)
3. Non-Partner Dances, Street (Hip Hop, etc)
While World and Ballet have issues being in with the Broadway/Jazz/Contemp I think they are most similar. You don't have the intense interaction between the pair and at least some of the steps in all of them tend to be more similar than they are to any of the Partner dances.
I put Hip Hop (and any other street style that may show up) by itself as the technique tends to be enough different from the other non-partner dances that it seemed OK off on its own.
