fretwork

'this must be cut out' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'twerk for dancing?' is the wordplay.
'dancing?' is an anagram indicator.
'twerk'+'for'='twerkfor'
'twerkfor' with letters rearranged gives 'FRETWORK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fretwork that I've seen before include "Ornamental design done with saw" , "Ornamental design made of wood or metal strips" , "Sawn ornamental design" , "Design cut with a saw" , "it's traced" .)
