Quiet all right, getting novice a dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
polka
'dance' is the definition.
(I know that polka is a kind of dance)
'quiet all right getting novice a' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'all right' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'getting' indicates putting letters inside.
'novice' becomes 'L' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'ok' placed around 'l' is 'olk'.
'p'+'olk'+'a'='POLKA'
(Other definitions for polka that I've seen before include "An originally Bohemian dance" , "Lively dance, originally from Bohemia" , "Bohemian movement" , "Dance originally from part of 1 across" , "Czech dance" .)
