His growl confused a dancer (8)
I believe the answer is:
showgirl
'a dancer' is the definition.
(I know that showgirl is a type of dancer)
'his growl confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'his'+'growl'='hisgrowl'
'hisgrowl' anagrammed gives 'SHOWGIRL'.
(Another definition for showgirl that I've seen is " Entertainer".)
