Just taking off hot record for dance (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
one-step
'dance' is the definition.
(one-step is a kind of dance)
'just taking off hot record' is the wordplay.
'just' becomes 'honest' (I've seen this before).
'taking off' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'hot' becomes 'h'.
'record' becomes 'ep'.
'honest' with 'h' taken out is 'onest'.
'onest'+'ep'='ONE-STEP'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for one-step that I've seen before include "Kind of foxtrot" , "Vigorous dance" , "(Very short?) ballroom dance" , "Foxtrot's precursor" , "Style of foxtrot" .)
