I believe the answer is:

treadle

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

'this needs feet moving' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'related to dance' is the wordplay.
'to dance' indicates anagramming the letters (letters must dance around).
'related' is an anagram of 'TREADLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
