Leader of clog dance gets cut (4)
I believe the answer is:
chop
'cut' is the definition.
(chop is a kind of cut)
'leader of clog dance' is the wordplay.
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
'dance' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of dance).
The initial letter of 'clog' is 'c'.
'c'+'hop'='CHOP'
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for chop that I've seen before include "Cut into small pieces" , "Abolish, cut of meat" , "Reduce drastically" , "Cut - a piece of meat" , "Dissect" .)
