Hotel in Burma running alternative dance? (6)

I believe the answer is:

rhumba

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

'alternative dance?' is the definition.
'rhumba' can be an answer for 'dance?' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'alternative' bit.

'hotel in burma running' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'running' indicates an anagram.
'burma' anagrammed gives 'rumba'.
'h' placed inside 'rumba' is 'RHUMBA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for rhumba that I've seen is " Latin dance (alt sp)".)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
