Would dance indicate a pen? (4-5)

'a pen?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'would dance indicate' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'dance' could be 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance) and 'ball' is present in the answer.
'indicate' could be 'point' (synonyms) and 'point' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
