I believe the answer is:

ladette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crude character' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'let date dance' is the wordplay.
'dance' indicates an anagram.
'let'+'date'='letdate'
'letdate' with letters rearranged gives 'LADETTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
