This clue could be a double definition.

'is this a dance' is the first definition.
'excuse me' can be an answer for 'a dance' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

'what?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for excuse me that I've seen before include "Apology for breaking in - dance" , "Steps" , "said to be attention-seeking?" , "Phrase to catch attention or apologise" , "Come again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
