Footwork of judoka caught in video recording (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tap dance

'footwork' is the definition.

'judoka caught in video recording' is the wordplay.
'judoka' becomes 'dan' (both can mean a judo expert).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'video recording' becomes 'tape' (I've seen this before).
'dan'+'c'='danc'
'danc' put into 'tape' is 'TAP-DANCE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tap dance that I've seen before include "Rhythmical entertainment" , "Rhythmic performance" , "Dent a cap (anag.)" , "moving performance" , "Source of rhythmic clatter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
