Dance where man drops foot three times? (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.
(cha-cha-cha is a kind of dance)

'man drops foot three times?' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'chap' (I've seen this in other clues).
'drops foot' means to remove the last letter.
'three times?' becomes 'chacha' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'chap' with its last letter taken away is 'cha'.
'cha'+'chacha'='CHA-CHA-CHA'

'where' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
