Performance that drips with virtuosity? (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tap dance

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

'performance' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Rhythmic performance' mean 'tap dance' so perhaps 'performance' could also mean 'tap dance')

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tap dance that I've seen before include "Move rhythmically (for joy?) wearing special shoes" , "Skilful display" , "moving performance" , "Rhythmical entertainment" , "Entertainment needing special shoes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
