Keep dancing near it (6)
I believe the answer is:
retain
'keep' is the definition.
(retaining is a kind of keeping)
'dancing near it' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'near'+'it'='nearit'
'nearit' is an anagram of 'RETAIN'.
(Other definitions for retain that I've seen before include "Hire - keep" , "Not relinquish" , "Hold onto" , "Keep possession of" , "Save" .)
