Dancing Ivan too gets warm reception (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ovation

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

'warm reception' is the definition.
'ovation' can be an answer for 'reception' (I have seen 'Enthusiastic reception' mean 'ovation' so perhaps 'reception' could also mean 'ovation'). I am not sure about the 'warm' bit.

'dancing ivan too' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'ivan'+'too'='ivantoo'
'ivantoo' anagrammed gives 'OVATION'.

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovation that I've seen before include "Applause, acclaim" , "Enthusiastic reception" , "Sustained applause (may be standing)" , "Stormy applause" , "Enthusiastic applause, perhaps standing" .)
