Performer, greatly appreciated, pranced about (3-6)
I believe the answer is:
tap dancer
'performer' is the definition.
(I know that tap dancer is a type of dancer)
'greatly appreciated pranced about' is the wordplay.
'greatly appreciated' becomes 'ta' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'greatly' bit.).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pranced' is an anagram of 'pdancer'.
'ta'+'pdancer'='TAP-DANCER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tap dancer that I've seen before include "Hard shoe entertainer" , "Entertainer with special shoes" , "Toe and heel clicking performer" , "Entertainer needing floorboards" , "Astaire was one" .)
