Getting on with broadcast about a sort of dancing (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

old-time

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

'a sort of dancing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'getting on with broadcast about' is the wordplay.
'getting on' becomes 'old' ('getting on a bit' means 'old').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'broadcast' becomes 'emit' (I've seen this before).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'emit' written backwards gives 'time'.
'old'+'time'='OLD-TIME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for old-time that I've seen before include "(E.g. dancing) in ancient style" , "Relating to the past" , "Quaint" .)
