Miss the dance (4)
I believe the answer is:
skip
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'miss' is the first definition.
(to skip something is to miss it out)
'the dance' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for skip that I've seen before include "Container used to collect and dump waste" , "Who's in charge of curlers" , "Jump; builder's container" , "bowls captain" , "dance" .)
