Dance workers in trousers that stretch (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ski pants

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

'trousers that stretch' is the definition.
'ski pants' can be an answer for 'trousers' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

'dance workers' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'skip' (I've seen this before).
'workers' becomes 'ants' (worker ants).
'skip'+'ants'='SKI PANTS'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ski pants that I've seen before include "Winter sports wear" , "Garments" , "Gear employed descending mountain" , "Trousers" .)
