Amazing Sudanese ballerina (8)

I believe the answer is:

danseuse

'ballerina' is the definition.
('danseuse' can be a synonym of 'ballerina')

'amazing sudanese' is the wordplay.
'amazing' is an anagram indicator.
'sudanese' with letters rearranged gives 'DANSEUSE'.

(Other definitions for danseuse that I've seen before include "entertainer" , "She takes steps" , "Performer" , "Ballet girl" , "Ballerina" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
