Crossword Genius

Dances in films (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reels

This clue is a double definition.

'dances' is the first definition.
(reel is a kind of dance)

'films' is the second definition.
(I know this)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reels that I've seen before include "Spools" , "Cylinders on which cords are wound" , "Old film parts" , "Rolls of film and dances" , "performed by dancers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
