Left-winger joining country dance (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turkey trot

'dance' is the definition.
(turkey trot is a kind of dance)

'left-winger joining country' is the wordplay.
'left-winger' becomes 'trot' (I've seen this before).
'joining' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'country' becomes 'turkey' (Turkey is an example**).
'trot' after 'turkey' is 'TURKEY-TROT'.

(Another definition for turkey trot that I've seen is " Early 20th-century ragtime dance".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
