Graceful bearing (5)
I believe the answer is:
poise
'graceful bearing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for poise that I've seen before include "Graceful and elegant bearing in a person" , "Dignified and self-assured manner" , "Grace; equilibrium" , "Sang-froid" , "Physical balance" .)
