Triple drink for a dance (3-3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cha-cha-cha

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

'triple' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'drink for a dance' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'cha' (cha can mean tea).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a dance' becomes 'chacha' (cha-cha is a kind of dance).
'cha'+'chacha'='CHA-CHA-CHA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cha-cha-cha that I've seen before include "Latin American dance, sounds trebled" , "Latin American dance - 1-2-3 rhythm" , "A Latin American dance, very repetitive" , "Latin-American dance" , "Ballroom dance" .)
