Liquor carrier moves out of Cuba (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rumba

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

'out of cuba' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'liquor carrier moves' is the wordplay.
'liquor' becomes 'rum' (rum is a kind of liquor).
'carrier moves' becomes 'ba' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rum'+'ba'='RUMBA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rumba that I've seen before include "Latin American dance" , "Style of dance" , "Dance originating in Cuba" , "Latin beat" , "Burma (anag)" .)
