Dance with husband, awfully wooden (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoedown

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

'with husband awfully wooden' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'awfully' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wooden' with letters rearranged gives 'oedown'.
'h' placed into 'oedown' is 'HOEDOWN'.

(Other definitions for hoedown that I've seen before include "American dance gathering" , "US party" , "Boisterous American folk dance" , "US folk dance gathering" , "Woodhen (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
