Dance in bronze and green light? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

'dance' is the definition.
(tango is a type of dance)

'bronze and green light?' is the wordplay.
'bronze' becomes 'tan' (both can mean to get a sun tan).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'green light?' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tan'+'go'='TANGO'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "Last - in Paris (film)" , "Tonga (anag.)" , "Argentinian dance form" , "Activity requiring two to" , "Latin American dance takes two to do it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
