Exploding stew pot creates dance (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

two-step

'dance' is the definition.
(two-step is a kind of dance)

'exploding stew pot' is the subsidiary indication.
'exploding' indicates an anagram.
'stew'+'pot'='stewpot'
'stewpot' is an anagram of 'twostep'.

'creates' is the link.

(Other definitions for two-step that I've seen before include "Wet pots (anag.)" , "Gliding dance" , "Sot wept doing ballroom dance" , "Old time dance" , "Wets opt out of simple ballroom dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
