Stately dance (6)
I believe the answer is:
minuet
'stately dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for minuet that I've seen before include "Gracious old dance, just takes a minute" , "Slow, graceful dance" , "18th-century dance" , "Stately old dance, takes only a minute" , "Stately court dance" .)
