'adept manoeuvres with cane largely' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'adept manoeuvres with cane largely' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvres with' indicates an anagram (letters manoeuvred in a new way).
'largely' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the letters).
'cane' with its final letter taken off is 'can'.
'adept' with its letters anagrammed with 'can' can make 'TAP-DANCE'.
