A quiet dance introduces each show (10)
I believe the answer is:
appearance
'show' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a quiet dance introduces each' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'dance' becomes 'prance' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'introduces' indicates putting letters inside.
'each' becomes 'ea' (abbreviation).
'prance' going around 'ea' is 'pearance'.
'a'+'p'+'pearance'='APPEARANCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appearance that I've seen before include "Someone present has put one in" , "Semblance" , "Advent" , "Bearing - pretence" , "show" .)
