Chances to host dance for weirdos (8)
I believe the answer is:
oddballs
'weirdos' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'chances to host dance' is the wordplay.
'chances' becomes 'odds' (the odds of something happening).
'to host' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are hosted or welcomed).
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'odds' placed around 'ball' is 'ODDBALLS'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oddballs that I've seen before include "Bad dolls for eccentrics" , "peculiar characters" , "Bold lads? (anag)" , "Weirdos" , "making up half the FA Cup draw?" .)
