Sheepish youngster and girl dance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lambada

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

'dance' is the definition.
(Brazilian dance)

'sheepish youngster and girl' is the wordplay.
'sheepish youngster' becomes 'lamb' (a lamb is a young sheep. I am not sure about the 'sheepish' bit.).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'girl' becomes 'Ada' (girl's name).
'lamb'+'ada'='LAMBADA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lambada that I've seen before include "raunchy dance" , "few steps?" , "Latin-American dance" , "rhythmic Latin American dance" , "Lively Brazilian dance" .)
