Skilled performer (7)
I believe the answer is:
artiste
'skilled performer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for artiste that I've seen before include "Attires like entertainer" , "'Public performer, dancer or singer (7)'" , "professional dancer?" , "Performers" , "Attires (anag.)" .)
