Maybe Joaquin's steps following hobbling soldier (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flamenco

'maybe joaquin's steps' is the definition.
(Spanish dance - Joaquin is a Spanish name)

'following hobbling soldier' is the wordplay.
'following' becomes 'f.' (used when citing page numbers etc).
'hobbling' becomes 'lame' (both can mean walking with difficulty).
'soldier' becomes 'nco' (non-commissioned officer).
'f'+'lame'+'nco'='FLAMENCO'

(Other definitions for flamenco that I've seen before include "Spanish guitar music" , "Spanish musical style" , "Spanish 20" , "Spanish guitar style" , "Spanish gypsy music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
