Admired odd ear dance (6)
I believe the answer is:
adored
'admired' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'odd ear dance' is the wordplay.
'dance' indicates anagramming the letters.
'odd'+'ear'='oddear'
'oddear' with letters rearranged gives 'ADORED'.
(Other definitions for adored that I've seen before include "Really liked" , "Worshipped and venerated" , "Worshipped and revered" , "Loved deeply" , "enjoyed very much" .)
