UK doctor hosting his association's upcoming dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
mambo
'dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'uk doctor hosting his association's upcoming' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'doctor' could be 'mb' (Bachelor of Medicine, Medicinae Baccalaureus) and 'mb' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mao' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mambo that I've seen before include "Quick Caribbean dance" , "voodoo woman" , "voodoo priestess" , "Latin American dance of Haitian origin" , "Dance derived from voodoo rituals" .)
