What the ballerina performs for her devotees? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
fan dance
'what the ballerina performs' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'her devotees?' is the wordplay.
'her' becomes 'Fan'.
'devotees?' becomes 'dance' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fan'+'dance'='FAN DANCE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fan dance that I've seen before include "Cabaret act" , "Tantalising entertainment" .)
