Crossword Genius

Dancer from Le Lido with line of heritage in Sussex (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bluebell

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

'dancer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'le lido with line of heritage in sussex' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'line' could be 'bell' (bell is a kind of line) and 'bell' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'blue' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
