Band bringing in drinks for floor show? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

striptease

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

'floor show?' is the definition.
'striptease' can be an answer for 'show?' (striptease is a kind of show). I am unsure of the 'floor' bit.

'band bringing in drinks' is the wordplay.
'band' becomes 'stripe' ('stripe' can be a synonym of 'band'**).
'bringing in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'drinks' becomes 'teas' (tea is a kind of drink).
'stripe' enclosing 'teas' is 'STRIPTEASE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for striptease that I've seen before include "Revelatory performance" , "in which all will be revealed" , "Erotic performance" , "performance taking off" , "that calls for gradual exposure?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
