Dances about on air? (6)
I believe the answer is:
congas
'dances' is the definition.
(I know this)
'about on air?' is the wordplay.
'about on' becomes 'con' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'air?' becomes 'gas' (air is a kind of gas).
'con'+'gas'='CONGAS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for congas that I've seen is " Takes steps".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
