Dance with Greek goddess outside a bar (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

habanera

'dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'greek goddess outside a bar' is the wordplay.
'greek goddess' becomes 'hera' (I've seen this before).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bar' becomes 'ban' (I've seen this before**).
'a'+'ban'='aban'
'hera' going around 'aban' is 'HABANERA'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for habanera that I've seen before include "Slow dance of Cuban origin" , "Cuban dance in slow duple time" , "Steps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
