Dancing with many a wild mob (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limbo

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

'dancing' is the definition.
(limbo is a type of dance)

'many a wild mob' is the wordplay.
'many a' becomes 'li' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'mob' with letters rearranged gives 'mbo'.
'li'+'mbo'='LIMBO'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limbo that I've seen before include "passing under bar?" , "waiting time" , "Where things are lost or forgotten or being awaited" , "It's close to hell!" , "Period of indecision" .)
