Bachelor meeting everyone beside moor returning from dancing venue (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ballroom

'dancing venue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bachelor meeting everyone beside moor returning' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'B' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'beside' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'returning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'moor' backwards is 'room'.
'b'+'all'+'room'='BALLROOM'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for ballroom that I've seen before include "Hall for dancing" , "In which the tango or the foxtrot are danced" , "Dance-hall" , "Place for dance" , "place associated with steps?" .)
