Game buff transposed steps? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

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

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

'game buff transposed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'game' could be 'go' (go is a board game) and 'go' is present in the answer.
'buff' could be 'tan' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'tan' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "Latin-American dance - code for T" , "Argentine dance" , "Dramatic ballroom dance from Argentina" , "Latin American dance (requiring two?)" , "Dramatic dance form Argentina" .)
