Dance and live with body odour quietly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bebop

'dance' is the definition.
(beboping is a kind of dancing)

'live with body odour quietly' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'body odour' becomes 'bo' ('B.O.' can be a synonym of 'body odour').
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'be'+'bo'+'p'='BEBOP'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bebop that I've seen before include "music played in jazz club" , "Jazz style of 40s" , "Form of modern jazz from about 1940" , "Fast, complex jazz" , "1940s' jazz characterised by virtuosity" .)
