Dancing, it's linked to being the most gracious (9)
I believe the answer is:
kindliest
'the most gracious' is the definition.
'dancing it's linked' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'its'+'linked'='itslinked'
'itslinked' with letters rearranged gives 'KINDLIEST'.
'to being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for kindliest that I've seen before include "Most warm-hearted" , "Most generous" , "...extremely charitable" , "Most good-hearted" .)
