Illegal delivery taken before dance, turned on (2-4)
I believe the answer is:
no-ball
'illegal delivery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'before dance turned on' is the wordplay.
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'turned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'on' written backwards gives 'no'.
'ball' put after 'no' is 'NO-BALL'.
'taken' is the link.
(Other definitions for no-ball that I've seen before include "Illegal delivery by bowler in cricket" , "Extra, in cricket" .)
