Dance steps OK for comic, after consuming a couple (8)

I believe the answer is:

footwork

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

'dance steps' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'ok for comic after consuming a couple' is the wordplay.
'comic' indicates an anagram.
'after consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'a couple' becomes 'two' (a couple can mean two of something).
'ok'+'for'='okfor'
'okfor' anagrammed gives 'foork'.
'foork' placed around 'two' is 'FOOTWORK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for footwork that I've seen is " Skilful manoeuvring".)
