Awkward when dancing I'm shafted (3-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ham-fisted

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

'dancing i'm shafted' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'im'+'shafted'='imshafted'
'imshafted' with letters rearranged gives 'HAM-FISTED'.

'when' is the link.

(Other definitions for ham-fisted that I've seen before include "Clumsy, awkward" , "I'm shafted, being clumsy" , "Lacking 5 across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
