Give close consideration to those going to a ball? (5,10)
I believe the answer is:
dance attendance
'give close consideration to those going' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'a ball?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
'ball?' could be 'dance' (ball can mean an event for dancing) and 'dance' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dance attendance that I've seen before include "Wait assiduously (on someone)" , "behave obsequiously" , "Closely follow" , "Do one's utmost to please another" .)
