Gambol erotically, embracing dance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolero

'dance' is the definition.
(bolero is a kind of dance)

'gambol erotically embracing' is the wordplay.
'embracing' indicates a hidden word (the solution is embraced by words in the clue).
'BOLERO' can be found hidden inside 'gambol erotically'.

(Other definitions for bolero that I've seen before include "what Ravel wrote" , "Kind of jacket or dramatic music by Ravel" , "Spanish dance; Ravel's best-known work" , "Arrange to rob Leo during the dance" , "Spanish dance - item of clothing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
