Joint with local dance music (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hip-hop

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

'music' is the definition.
(genre of music)

'joint with local dance' is the wordplay.
'joint' becomes 'hip' (part of body).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'local dance' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of dance. I am not sure about the 'local' bit.).
'hip'+'hop'='HIP-HOP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hip-hop that I've seen before include "Popular music style" , "Electronic rap music" , "Pop. music movement" , "Genre of 1980s and '90s African-American music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
