Can adept somehow perform like Astaire? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
tap dance
'perform like astaire?' is the definition.
'tap-dance' can be an answer for 'perform'. I am not certain of the 'like astaire?' bit.
'can adept somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'adept'='canadept'
'canadept' is an anagram of 'TAP-DANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tap dance that I've seen before include "Dent a cap (anag.)" , "Steel-toecapped entertainment" , "moving performance" , "Rhythmical entertainment" , "Move rhythmically (for joy?) wearing special shoes" .)
