Relish short dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
samba
'dance' is the definition.
(Brazilian dance)
'relish short' is the wordplay.
'relish' becomes 'sambal' (relish in Indonesian cooking).
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'sambal' with its last letter removed is 'SAMBA'.
(Other definitions for samba that I've seen before include "Dance, originally from Brazil" , "Latin dance" , "South American dance" , "This ambassador's > brisk steps" , "Dance music" .)
