Exotic dancer ten beguiled (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entranced

'beguiled' is the definition.
(I know that beguiled can be written as entranced)

'exotic dancer ten' is the wordplay.
'exotic' indicates an anagram (an unusual form of the letters).
'dancer'+'ten'='dancerten'
'dancerten' anagrammed gives 'ENTRANCED'.

(Other definitions for entranced that I've seen before include "Delighted" , "Captivated" , "Fascinated" , ""Spellbound"?" , "Filled with wonder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
