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

'person finally sick of dancing with a partner?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'person finally sick of dancing' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
The last letter of 'sick' is 'k'.
'person'+'k'+'of'='personkof'
'personkof' is an anagram of 'SPOKEN FOR'.
