Crossword Genius

Dances produced to scale (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascend

'scale' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dances produced' is the wordplay.
'produced' is an anagram indicator.
'dances' with letters rearranged gives 'ASCEND'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ascend that I've seen before include "Move upward" , "rise in status" , "Climb, rise" , "shift to a higher plane" , "Dances (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
