Girl from outskirts of Yokohama not above dancing a lot (6)
I believe the answer is:
latoya
'girl' is the definition.
(girl's name)
'outskirts of yokohama not above dancing a lot' is the wordplay.
'outskirts of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only letters on the outskirts).
'not above' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters so below others, not above them).
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'yokohama' with its middle removed is 'ya'.
'a'+'lot'='alot'
'alot' with letters rearranged gives 'lato'.
'ya' put after 'lato' is 'LATOYA'.
'from' is the link.
(Another definition for latoya that I've seen is " -- Jackson, US singer".)
