Rise with bare head in dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
rebel
'rise' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'bare head in dance' is the wordplay.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'dance' becomes 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance).
The first letter of 'bare' is 'b'.
'b' placed inside 'reel' is 'REBEL'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for rebel that I've seen before include "Flouter of authority" , "He resists authority" , "Bolshy" , "Kick over the traces" , "James Dean was one without a cause" .)
