Dance with girl born first (8)
I believe the answer is:
saraband
'dance' is the definition.
(saraband is a kind of dance)
'with girl born first' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'with' could be 'and' (I've seen this before) and 'and' is found within the answer.
'girl' could be 'sara' and 'sara' is present in the answer.
'born' could be 'b' and 'b' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for saraband that I've seen before include "Stately dance" , "Slow Spanish dance" , "Old, courtly dance" , "dance music" .)
