Crossword Genius

'Ample' librarian, all over the place as a dancer (5,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prima ballerina

'a dancer' is the definition.
(prima ballerina is a kind of dancer)

'ample librarian all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates an anagram.
'ample'+'librarian'='amplelibrarian'
'amplelibrarian' with letters rearranged gives 'PRIMA BALLERINA'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for prima ballerina that I've seen before include "athletic star" , "Chief female dancer" .)
