Dance and tea for three (3-3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cha-cha-cha

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

'dance' is the definition.
(type of dance)

'tea for three' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'for three' becomes 'chacha' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cha'+'chacha'='CHA-CHA-CHA'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cha-cha-cha that I've seen before include "Latin American dance - 1-2-3 rhythm" , "Ballroom dance" , "Latin-American dance" , "A Latin American dance, very repetitive" , "Latin American dance, sounds trebled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
