tap dancer

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

'a person' is the definition.
(tap dancer is a kind of person)

'and carpet's ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and'+'carpet'='andcarpet'
'andcarpet' with letters rearranged gives 'TAP-DANCER'.

'with hard shoes' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tap dancer that I've seen before include "Heel and toe clicker?" , "Astaire, say" , "Entertainer needing floorboards" , "Hard shoe entertainer" , "Astaire was one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
