Sharp taste with nothing to follow but to dance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

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

'dance' is the definition.
(tangoing is a kind of dancing)

'sharp taste with nothing' is the wordplay.
'sharp taste' becomes 'tang' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'tang'+'o'='TANGO'

'to follow but to' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "one followed by uniform" , "Letter T in radio comms" , "Dance of South American origin" , "Dramatic ballroom dance from Argentina" , "Latin American dance (requiring two?)" .)
