Dance act with nude content? (7)

I believe the answer is:

cabaret

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

'content?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'dance act with nude' is the wordplay.
'dance' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'nude' becomes 'bare' (synonyms).
'act' anagrammed gives 'cat'.
'cat' going around 'bare' is 'CABARET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cabaret that I've seen before include "Nightclub 12ac" , "Floor show and name of great musical" , "Revue" , "In nightspot" , "Bob Fosse musical with Liza Minnelli" .)
