The German holding African party for one who enjoys a number of jigs and reels (6)
I believe the answer is:
dancer
'one who enjoys a number of jigs and reels' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'the german holding african party' is the wordplay.
'the german' becomes 'der' ('the' in German).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'african party' becomes 'anc' (African National Congress).
'der' placed around 'anc' is 'DANCER'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dancer that I've seen before include "See 25" , "One in the same team as, say, Rudolf" , "Ballerina or chorus girl?" , "One of Santa's reindeer" , "Fred Astaire, say" .)
