Get down in type of dance — evidently hot? (8)
I believe the answer is:
sweating
'evidently hot?' is the definition.
'get down in type of dance' is the wordplay.
'get down' becomes 'eat' (both can mean to cause negative feeling).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'type of dance' becomes 'swing' (**).
'eat' going within 'swing' is 'SWEATING'.
(Other definitions for sweating that I've seen before include "Anxious" , "Like a pig maybe" , "Perspiring" .)
