Cups passed around chill dance in Punjab (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bhangra

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

'dance in punjab' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'cups passed around chill' is the wordplay.
'cups' becomes 'bra' (as in the two cups of a bra).
'passed around' indicates putting letters inside.
'chill' becomes 'hang' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bra' placed around 'hang' is 'BHANGRA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bhangra that I've seen before include "Punjabi pop" , "music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
