Dance with Mike on platform in church (5)
I believe the answer is:
mambo
'dance' is the definition.
(I know that mambo is a type of dance)
'mike on platform in church' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'mike' could be 'm' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'm' is present in the answer.
'platform' could be 'ambo' (ambo is a kind of platform) and 'ambo' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mambo that I've seen before include "Quick Caribbean dance" , "voodoo woman" , "voodoo priestess" , "Dance derived from voodoo rituals" , "Latin American dance of Haitian origin" .)
