Strange bachelor activity in the ballroom (5)
I believe the answer is:
rumba
'activity in the ballroom' is the definition.
'rumba' can be an answer for 'activity' (rumba is a kind of activity). I am unsure of the 'in the ballroom' bit.
'strange bachelor' is the wordplay.
'strange' becomes 'rum' (similar in meaning).
'bachelor' becomes 'BA' (the qualification: Bachelor of Arts).
'rum'+'ba'='RUMBA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rumba that I've seen before include "Dance originating in Cuba" , "Ballroom dance of Cuban origin" , "Latin beat" , "What to perform" , "Strictly round" .)
