An heir dancing around gets rupture (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hernia

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

'rupture' is the definition.
(hernia is a kind of rupture)

'an heir dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'an'+'heir'='anheir'
'anheir' anagrammed gives 'HERNIA'.

'around gets' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hernia that I've seen before include "Rupture in muscle tissue through which a structure protrudes" , "Protrusion of organ through wall of body" , "An heir (anag.)" , "Protrusion of organ throung abdinen, rupture" , "A rupture within the body" .)
