'seductive dancer' is the definition.
(dancer in the Bible)

'oscar married in cheshire town' is the wordplay.
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'married' becomes 'm' (abbreviation, e.g. in genealogy).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'cheshire town' becomes 'sale' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'o'+'m'='om'
'om' put within 'sale' is 'SALOME'.
