Dance with repeated element? Sweet (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rum baba

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sweet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dance with repeated element?' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'rumba' (rumba is a type of dance).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'repeated element?' becomes 'ba' (Ba is an example. I am not sure about the 'repeated' bit.).
'rumba'+'ba'='RUM BABA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rum baba that I've seen before include "Spirit-soaked cake" , "sort of tipsy-cake" , "Sweet" , "Alcoholic cake" , "Spirited item at tea" .)
