Goes awkwardly round the ring with this kind of step (5)
I believe the answer is:
goose
'this kind of step' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'goes awkwardly round the ring' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' is an anagram indicator.
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'the ring' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ring).
'goes' is an anagram of 'gose'.
'gose' enclosing 'o' is 'GOOSE'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for goose that I've seen before include "Gander's mate" , "Silly person" , "Pimply state of the skin when cold or scared (with a bird)" , "Web-footed long-necked bird" , "Christmas bird?" .)
