Once a year, a ballroom dancing extravaganza at the local country club is the social event of the season. Each of five distinguished pairs stole the spotlight in a different dance, earning them not only the admiration of all those present but also a romantic dinner for two at the club on an evening of their choice. From the information provided, determine the husband and wife who comprise each couple and their shared surname, as well as the type of dance in which each couple excelled.
Husbands: Andrew, Bradley, Logan, Nathan, Stewart
Wives: Audrey, Lorraine, Margaret, Phyllis, Vanessa
Surname: Kavanaugh, Levy, Moylan, Northrop, Powell
Dance: Fox Trot, Jitterbug, Mambo, Tango, Waltz
Bradley (who didn’t do the jitterbug) isn’t Mr. Northrop.
Phyllis’s surname is Moylan
Neither Margaret (who isn’t Ms. Northrop) nor Audrey is either the woman who danced the jitterbug with Mr. Levy (who isn’t Nathan) or the one who danced the tango with her companion.
Stewart (who isn’t surnamed Levy) isn’t the man who danced the fox trot and Vanessa wasn’t his partner.
Neither Audrey nor the woman who danced a stunning waltz is married to Mr. Powell (who isn’t Bradley).
Lorraine didn’t dance the tango.
Audrey isn’t Ms. Northrop and Margaret isn’t the woman who danced the mambo with her husband.
Andrew’s last name is Kavanaugh.
Answer -
Andrew & Audrey Kavanaugh; mambo
Bradley & Phyllis Moylan; tango
Logan & Vanessa Levy; jitterbug
Nathan & Margaret Powell; fox trot
Stewart & Lorraine Northrop; waltz
hate when it takes more than 4 grids. 
Bradley and Phyllis Moylan were the two it took to Tango
Andrew & Audrey Kavanaugh followed Lou Bega and did a Mambo
Stewart and Lorraine Northrop Waltzed in late
Nathan & Margaret Powell stomped out a Foxtrot
while
Logan and Venessa Levy were like the Tinman and trees of Oz doing the Jitterbug

Well done, guys!
I’ve been drawn by the artists these days, and of old;
Yet I’m seen only when all around me is cold.
For most of the time you just live and ignore me;
Then you gasp for me, stop for me, mutter below me.
You might say, in surprise, I’ve been taken away,
But it’s true I’ve been with you, at least 'til today.
When I leave you, you leave too!
What am I?
Answer -
Breath

Take the given words, and by moving a single letter from one word to the other, make a pair of synonyms, or near synonyms.
For example, given: Boast - Hip, move the ‘s’ from ‘Boast’ to ‘Hip’ creating two synonyms: Boat - Ship.
Answers -
1. Bun - Bread
2. Ride - Trip
3. Groove - Rut
4. Harm - Crush
