Dance with hesitation in sleazy bar (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rumba

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

'dance' is the definition.
(rumba is a kind of dance)

'hesitation in sleazy bar' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'hesitation' could be 'um' and 'um' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'bar' is 'rba' which is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rumba that I've seen before include "Umbra (anag)" , "one's on the floor for it" , "Lively Cuban dance" , "Burma (anag)" , "Dance originating in Cuba" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
