Dancing with North African around bar (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taproom

'bar' is the definition.
('taproom' can be a synonym of 'bar')

'dancing with north african around' is the wordplay.
'dancing' becomes 'tap' (tap dancing is a kind of dancing**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'north african' becomes 'moor'.
'around' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'moor' written backwards gives 'room'.
'tap'+'room'='TAPROOM'

(Other definitions for taproom that I've seen before include "liquor shop" , "part of pub" , "Source of beer" , "Public bar" , "Type of bar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
