Dancing bears — not titled people (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baronets

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

'titled people' is the definition.
'baronets' can be an answer for 'people' (baronet is a kind of person). I am not sure about the 'titled' bit.

'dancing bears not' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'bears'+'not'='bearsnot'
'bearsnot' with letters rearranged gives 'BARONETS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for baronets that I've seen is " nobles".)
