I believe the answer is:

salome

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

'dancer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'she unveiled her talents as a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'she' could be 'sal' and 'sal' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ome' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salome that I've seen before include "Biblical dancer" , "revealing play" , "She danced with seven veils for the Baptist's head" , "Seven veils dancer" , "Opera by Richard Strauss" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
