'ballet movement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'beg to get church' is the wordplay.
'beg' becomes 'entreat' (I've seen this before).
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'entreat' enclosing 'ch' is 'ENTRECHAT'.

'involved in' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entrechat that I've seen before include "Ballet move" , "Leap in the air" , "Ballet dancer's leap" , "Form of ballet jump" , "Ballet movement" .)
