Wait at a late point of the evening, being between turns on the floor? (5,10)
I believe the answer is:
dance attendance
'wait' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a late point of the evening being between turns on the floor?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
'late' could be 'd' and 'd' is located in the answer.
'point' could be 'end' (end is a kind of point) and 'end' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dance attendance that I've seen before include "Do one's utmost to please another" , "Closely follow" , "Wait assiduously (on someone)" , "behave obsequiously" .)
