I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'great admiration' is the definition.
'idolatry' can be an answer for 'admiration' (I have seen 'Extreme admiration ' mean 'idolatry' so perhaps 'admiration' could also mean 'idolatry'). I am not certain of the 'great' bit.

'icon dancing adroitly' is the wordplay.
'adroitly' anagrams to 'IDOLATRY'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idolatry that I've seen before include "Extreme admiration" , "Dilatory way of worshipping" , "Hero worship" , "Icon worship" , "reverence" .)
