Man now coming with cash to pole dance (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charleston

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

'dance' is the definition.
(I know that Charleston is a kind of dance)

'man now coming with cash to pole' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'charles' and 'charles' is located in the answer.
'to' is found in the answer.
'pole' could be 'n' (abbreviation for North, as in North Pole) and 'n' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for charleston that I've seen before include "American port" , "Nineteen twenties dance" , "Lively 1920s' dance" , "Dance making" , "US city - 1920s' dance" .)
