Can Red pirouette for ballerina, for example? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dancer

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

'ballerina for example?' is the definition.
(ballerina is a kind of dancer)

'can red pirouette' is the wordplay.
'can red' anagrams to 'DANCER'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dancer that I've seen before include "See 25" , "Ballet performer" , "Fred Astaire, say" , "One moves to music" , "Eg, ballerina" .)
