Rising up, sing, dance around (9)
I believe the answer is:
ascending
'rising up' is the definition.
'sing dance around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'sing'+'dance'='singdance'
'singdance' is an anagram of 'ASCENDING'.
(Other definitions for ascending that I've seen before include "Getting up" , "Rising" , "Going up" .)
