fox-trot

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

'dance' is the definition.
(I know that fox-trot is a type of ballroom dance)

'wily fellow jog along' is the wordplay.
'wily fellow' becomes 'fox' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'jog along' becomes 'trot' (I've seen this before).
'fox'+'trot'='FOX-TROT'

'makes' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
