Dance member from Ring (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limbo

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

'member from ring' is the wordplay.
'member' becomes 'limb' (limb is a kind of member**).
'from' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ring' becomes 'o'.
'limb'+'o'='LIMBO'

(Other definitions for limbo that I've seen before include "Uncertain or intermediate state" , "Former state as for unbaptised souls" , "Imaginary place for lost or neglected things" , "Steps beneath bar" , "State of waiting in uncertainty" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
