Tending to be a tap dancer (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apt

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

'tending' is the definition.
(I know that tending can be written as apt)

'be a tap dancer' is the wordplay.
'tap' can be anagrammed to 'APT'.
But, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apt that I've seen before include "Prone" , "To the point" , "Appropriate for Pat" , "Fitting - inclined" , "may be appropriate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
