Dancing Queen apt or The Name of the Game? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

petanque

'the name of the game?' is the definition.
(petanque is a game similar to bowls)

'dancing queen apt' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'queen'+'apt'='queenapt'
'queenapt' anagrammed gives 'PETANQUE'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Another definition for petanque that I've seen is " French form of bowls".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
