Clever move in dance (9)
I believe the answer is:
quickstep
'dance' is the definition.
(I know that quickstep is a more specific form of the action dance)
'clever move' is the wordplay.
'clever' becomes 'quick' (synonyms).
'move' becomes 'step' (stepping is a kind of moving).
'quick'+'step'='QUICKSTEP'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for quickstep that I've seen before include "Lively dance" , "Fast foxtrot" , "dance music" , "Modern ballroom dance" , "Fast dance" .)
