Secondary school gives up dance moves (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

high kicks

'dance moves' is the definition.

'secondary school gives up' is the wordplay.
'secondary school' becomes 'high' (high is a kind of secondary school).
'gives up' becomes 'kicks' (kicking is a kind of giving up).
'high'+'kicks'='HIGH KICKS'

(Another definition for high kicks that I've seen is " What chorus girls did".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
