Danseuse cavorting for Africans (8)
I believe the answer is:
sudanese
'africans' is the definition.
(people from Sudan)
'danseuse cavorting' is the wordplay.
'cavorting' indicates an anagram.
'danseuse' anagrammed gives 'SUDANESE'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sudanese that I've seen before include "Native to northeastern African state" , "Africans" , "Bad danseuse from a northeastern African state" , "People in country" , "From Khartoum, perhaps" .)
