Number of moves... hmmmm.... next time you're watching, count the number of different moves; I reacon that a single dance would contain about 20 moves, but about five or six would be repeated two or three times, so that's a core of say 6 moves which takes up about 15 of the moves in the song, which leaves about 5 "different" moves to be inserted.
So if you know six moves well enough that you can slip in/out of them, then you only need to concentrate on how to get into your five 'special' moves in the dance.

{Personally I use man-spin, octopus, step-across, basket and either first move, shoulder slide, yo-yo or cattapult (depending on partner/song) as my core moves, then flail about for the other five moves and see what happens. Usually works.}
