Crossword Genius

Tune in dance advertisement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ballad

'tune' is the definition.
(type of song)

'dance advertisement' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'advertisement' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'ball'+'ad'='BALLAD'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for ballad that I've seen before include "Narrative song of popular origin" , "Love song" , "Simple song or poem" , "Song type" , "Lay, narrative song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
