It has to be 'Reel' to fit the answer to 1a
"Everyman..."
Reel is the solution (indicated by ‘for dance’)
I think I'd go for 'reel' because of the 'for' in front of it. I also hate ambiguous clues.
Ah, we weren't told there are crossing letters to help!
A very poor clue, the plural [Gives] produces [leers], not [leer]. A good crossword editor wouldn't let this through.
The actual clue is ‘give lecherous look….’
