Equipped and cued actor to dance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accoutred

'equipped' is the definition.
(accoutring is a kind of equiping)

'cued actor to dance' is the wordplay.
'to dance' indicates an anagram (letters must dance around).
'cued'+'actor'='cuedactor'
'cuedactor' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCOUTRED'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for accoutred that I've seen before include "in dress" , "dressed" , "Given requisite kit" , "Suitably equipped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
