Note English line dance (4)
I believe the answer is:
reel
'dance' is the definition.
(reel is a kind of dance)
'note english line' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 're' (**).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'line' becomes 'l'.
're'+'e'+'l'='REEL'
(Other definitions for reel that I've seen before include "Scottish/Irish dance" , "Dance - sway - cotton holder" , "Photographer's and anglers spool" , "Part of film; dance" , "Revolving spool" .)
