I believe the answer is:

need

'miss' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'norway enjoyed exhibition dance initially' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'norway enjoyed exhibition dance' is 'NEED'.

(Other definitions for need that I've seen before include "Necessitate" , "Desideratum" , "Rely on" , "Want - require(ment)" , "destitute state" .)
