Braving it out and dancing nude to a band (8)
I believe the answer is:
enduring
'braving' is the definition.
('endure' can be a synonym of 'brave')
'dancing nude to a band' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to a band' becomes 'ring' (a ring is a band of metal).
'nude' is an anagram of 'endu'.
'endu'+'ring'='ENDURING'
'it out and' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enduring that I've seen before include "Long-lasting" , "Lasting' tolerating" , "showing toleration" , "having lasting qualities" , "Eternal" .)
