American uncle taking bachelor to dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
samba
'dance' is the definition.
(Brazilian dance)
'american uncle taking bachelor' is the wordplay.
'american uncle' becomes 'Sam' (Uncle Sam is a nickname for the USA).
'taking' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bachelor' becomes 'BA' (the qualification: Bachelor of Arts).
'sam'+'ba'='SAMBA'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for samba that I've seen before include "moves from Brazil" , "Latin dance" , "Lively ballroom dance from Brazil" , "Dance, originally from Brazil" , "Dance music" .)
