Intense passion shown by soldier in dance (8)
I believe the answer is:
flamenco
'dance' is the definition.
(flamenco is a kind of dance)
'intense passion shown by soldier' is the wordplay.
'intense passion' becomes 'flame' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'shown by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'soldier' becomes 'nco' (I've seen this in other clues).
'flame'+'nco'='FLAMENCO'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flamenco that I've seen before include "Spanish gypsy music" , "Dance performed with castanets" , "Spanish music style" , "Andalusian gypsy music" , "Spanish guitar style" .)
