Coach rat in dancing (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

train

'coach' is the definition.
(both can mean to instruct a sportsperson)

'rat in dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'rat'+'in'='ratin'
'ratin' anagrammed gives 'TRAIN'.

(Other definitions for train that I've seen before include "Railway service" , "Teach (person) a skill" , "Means of transport or long tail on dress" , "held up in union action?" , "Locomotive and coaches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
