Dance, then collapse, bewitched (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enchanted

'bewitched' is the definition.
('enchanted' can be similar in meaning to 'bewitched')

'dance then collapse' is the wordplay.
'collapse' indicates an anagram.
'dance'+'then'='dancethen'
'dancethen' is an anagram of 'ENCHANTED'.

(Other definitions for enchanted that I've seen before include "delighted by spelling" , "Bewitched" , "Beguiled" , "Put under spell" , "Captivated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
