Fellow dancers replaced bolts another way (5,2,6)

I believe the answer is:

corps de ballet

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

'fellow dancers' is the definition.
'corps de ballet' can be an answer for 'dancers' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'fellow' bit.

'replaced bolts another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'replaced'+'bolts'='replacedbolts'
'replacedbolts' anagrammed gives 'CORPS DE BALLET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for corps de ballet that I've seen before include "Dancing troupe" , "dance troupe" , "dancers" .)
