'airhead' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'hot dance removing top' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'dance' becomes 'limbo' (type of dance).
'removing top' means to remove the first letter (I've seen 'removes top' mean this).
'limbo' with its initial letter taken away is 'imbo'.
'h'+'imbo'='HIMBO'

'in' acts as a link.
