Actor with basic moves? These are more elaborate moves (10)

I believe the answer is:

acrobatics

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

'these are more elaborate moves' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'actor with basic moves?' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'moves?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'moved' mean this).
'actor'+'basic'='actorbasic'
'actorbasic' is an anagram of 'ACROBATICS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for acrobatics that I've seen before include "What one may see in circus" , "pursuit of tumblers" .)
