A dance step (but not on the Continent?) (3)
I believe the answer is:
pas
'a dance step' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pas that I've seen before include "... de deux, ballet step for two" , "Dance step" , "Dad's" , "A bit of ballet" , "Type of sausage" .)
