I believe the answer is:

emotionlessly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'without any passion' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'moose silently dances' is the wordplay.
'dances' is an anagram indicator.
'moose'+'silently'='moosesilently'
'moosesilently' is an anagram of 'EMOTIONLESSLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
