I am stuck with a couple of clues can anyone help?

1. When ordered and a crew will get the chaps in the mood (3, 5)
(I was wondering if it had anything to do with Glenn Millar?)

2. Everyone gathered in by a sweeper at this classsic dance venue (8)
I think the answer may be ballroom - but what has a sweeper got to do with it?

Many thanks in advance

2, Everyone is "all", the sweeper is a "broom", around "all".

And I more

Smoothly slide from a 20th Century Dance Hall before 26 (6,5).
NB I think the answer to 26 is disco.

Glenn Miller had a hit with "In The Mood", but I don't know the answer, I'm afraid, Billy!

I've come up with the following dances but cannot get any to make sense with the clue: -

Tap dance
The Creep
The Floss
The Gravy
The Hunch
The Shake
The Smurf
The Urkel
Big Apple

I have used Tap as another answer in the quiz - so I don't think its the answer here!

Thanks
Billy

At last ! Thanks Rusty

Okay and finally

A sinuous rhythmic activity adopted by keep fit proponents (5).

I think the answer is salsa but I am not 100% certain - any other ideas?
