Dance groove captured by rockers' material (5,4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strut ones stuff

'dance' is the definition.
(to strut one's stuff is to dance)

'groove captured by rockers' material' is the wordplay.
'groove' becomes 'rut' (rut is a kind of groove).
'captured by' is an insertion indicator.
'rockers'' becomes 'Stones' (the Rolling Stones, rock band).
'material' becomes 'stuff' (synonyms).
'rut' inserted within 'stones' is 'strutones'.
'strutones'+'stuff'='STRUT ONES STUFF'
