Danseuse cavorting for Africans (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sudanese

'africans' is the definition.
(people from Sudan)

'danseuse cavorting' is the wordplay.
'cavorting' indicates an anagram.
'danseuse' anagrammed gives 'SUDANESE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sudanese that I've seen before include "Native to northeastern African state" , "Africans" , "Bad danseuse from a northeastern African state" , "People in country" , "From Khartoum, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
