Dance company not giving assistance for beginners (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conga

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

'dance' is the definition.
(I know that conga is a type of dance)

'company not giving assistance for beginners' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'company' could be 'co' (abbreviation) and 'co' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for conga that I've seen before include "Latin-American dance" , "Single-file dance" , "Snaking Latin American dance" , "wiggling line" , "Latin American dance with three steps and a kick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
