Figure a London school to make French-style music (5)
I believe the answer is:
valse
'figure a london' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'school to make french-style music' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'school' could be 'lse' (London School of Economics) and 'lse' is present in the answer.
'music' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'v' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for valse that I've seen before include "Steps taken in France" , "Dance" .)
