Hop around when caned! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dance

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

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

'when caned' is the wordplay.
'caned' anagrams to 'DANCE'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'around' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dance that I've seen before include "tap, say" , "Steps" , "Jig, say" , "Move in time to music" , "Jig, caper" .)
