A Latin American dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
mambo
'a latin american dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for mambo that I've seen before include "voodoo woman" , "Quick Caribbean dance" , "Dance derived from voodoo rituals" , "Latin American dance of Haitian origin" , "voodoo priestess" .)
