Features of a square dance in trading establishment (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corner shop

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

'trading establishment' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'features of a square dance' is the wordplay.
'features of a square' becomes 'corners' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dance' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of dance).
'corners'+'hop'='CORNER SHOP'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for corner shop that I've seen before include "Small local retailer" , "Small retail outlet" , "Local outlet" , "Retail establishment on the angle of two streets?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
