I believe the answer is:

pas

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

'a dance step' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for pas that I've seen before include "... de deux, ballet step for two" , "Dance step" , "Dad's" , "A bit of ballet" , "Type of sausage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
