dance

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

'routine' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'scandinavian has cold' is the wordplay.
'scandinavian' becomes 'dane' (person from Denmark).
'has' indicates putting letters inside.
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'dane' going around 'c' is 'DANCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dance that I've seen before include "Artistic, nonverbal communication" , "bolero, for example" , "social function" , "Move rhythmically" , "Trip the light fantastic" .)
