Dance originating in Tonga? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

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

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

'originating in tonga?' is the wordplay.
'tonga' anagrams to 'TANGO'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "Activity requiring two to" , "Dramatic ballroom dance from Argentina" , "T in radio alphabet" , "South American dance (for two?)" , "Colourful dance from Argentina" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
