No poles: circus tent continuing to move? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonstop

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

'to move?' is the definition.
(nonstop is a kind of move)

'no poles circus tent' is the wordplay.
'poles' becomes 'NS' (North and South poles).
'circus tent' becomes 'top' (synonyms).
'no'+'ns'+'top'='NONSTOP'

'continuing' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nonstop that I've seen before include "Ceaselessly" , "Without halting" , "Never-ending" , "Ceaseless" , "Continuous, without pause" .)
