Little movement arising in actual performance (7)
I believe the answer is:
recital
'performance' is the definition.
(I know that recital is a type of performance)
'little movement arising in actual' is the wordplay.
'little movement' becomes 'tic' (an involuntary physical movement. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'arising' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'actual' becomes 'real' (similar in meaning).
'tic' reversed gives 'cit'.
'cit' put within 'real' is 'RECITAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Performance, usually musical" , "Telling" , "Public musical performance" , "(Usually solo) concert" , "Verbal account" .)
