Dance in bar naked (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trip

'dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bar naked' is the wordplay.
'bar' becomes 'stripe' (I've seen this before).
'naked' indicates the central letters.
The middle letters of 'stripe' are 'TRIP'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for trip that I've seen before include "Journey - cause to stumble" , "A short journey - stumble on it" , "... the light fantastic to dance" , "Hallucinatory experience" , "holiday" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
