I believe the answer is:

tango

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

'sunburn disappear?' is the wordplay.
'sunburn' becomes 'tan' (synonyms).
'disappear?' becomes 'go' (going is a kind of disappearing).
'tan'+'go'='TANGO'

'taken to make' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "T in radio alphabet" , "one followed by uniform" , "something seen in ballroom?" , "musical piece" , "Colourful dance from Argentina" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
