Cool dance music genre (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hip-hop

'music genre' is the definition.

'cool dance' is the wordplay.
'cool' becomes 'hip'.
'dance' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of dance).
'hip'+'hop'='HIP-HOP'

(Other definitions for hip-hop that I've seen before include "Electronic rap music" , "Popular music style" , "Genre of 1980s and '90s African-American music" , "Pop. music movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
