Wherein one possibly eats before the dance? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teashop

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

'wherein one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'possibly eats before the dance?' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'the dance?' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of dance).
'eats' with letters rearranged gives 'teas'.
'teas'+'hop'='TEASHOP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for teashop that I've seen before include "Place of refreshments" , "Cafe (paradoxically?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
