No. 4 Those words are from a song from many years ago, called "Begin the Beguine" I think Beguine was pronounced "Begeen"
I'm still thinking about the others!

Thank you all for your help and explanations. I would never have got those, so I don't feel too foolish for not knowing them!

My answer to number 5 - American lass one is 'salsa' - anagram of (A)merican lass - also a dance in double time. I think this answer fits the clue better.
