I believe the answer is:

jungle

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

'dance music' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'starts to get lively during month' is the wordplay.
'starts to' indicates taking the first letters.
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'month' becomes 'june' (June is an example).
The first letters of 'get lively' is 'gl'.
'gl' going inside 'june' is 'JUNGLE'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jungle that I've seen before include "Tropical wilderness" , "Tarzan's home" , "Impenetrable equatorial forest" , "Dense tropical forest" , "Tropical rainforest area" .)
