Street performer in holiday resort's beginning to eat rock? (11)

I believe the answer is:

breakdancer

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

'street performer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'holiday resort's beginning to eat rock?' is the wordplay.
'holiday' becomes 'break' (I've seen this before).
'beginning' indicates taking the first letters.
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'eat rock?' becomes 'dance' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first letter of 'resorts' is 'r'.
'r' put after 'dance' is 'dancer'.
'break'+'dancer'='BREAKDANCER'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for breakdancer that I've seen is " Energetic and acrobatic entertainer".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
