Dance clubs on outskirts of Geneva (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conga

'dance' is the definition.
(conga is a kind of dance)

'clubs on outskirts of geneva' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'outskirts of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only letters on the outskirts).
'geneva' with its centre taken out is 'ga'.
'c'+'on'+'ga'='CONGA'

(Other definitions for conga that I've seen before include "Serpentine dance" , "Latin American "follow-my-leader" dance" , "Latin American dance with three steps and a kick" , "Cuban dance of three steps followed by a kick" , "Party dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
