Glorify ladies cavorting in middle of audience (8)
I believe the answer is:
idealise
'glorify' is the definition.
('glorify'->'idealize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')
'ladies cavorting in middle of audience' is the wordplay.
'cavorting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'middle of' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'audience' are 'ie'.
'ladies' anagrammed gives 'dealis'.
'dealis' placed within 'ie' is 'IDEALISE'.
(Other definitions for idealise that I've seen before include "Have unrealistic picture of" , "Treat as perfect (S, not Z)" , "Consider something or someone perfect" , "Think of as perfect" , "put on pedestal" .)
