Ditch foxtrot for tango from Paris, perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
french
'ditch foxtrot for tango' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'from paris perhaps' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'fr' (abbreviation).
'paris perhaps' becomes 'ench' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fr'+'ench'='FRENCH'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for french that I've seen before include "Glass door" , "Shellac dissolved in alcohol, used on furniture" , "- Cricket; - dressing" , "From Paris possibly" , "European language" .)
