Ginger Rogers' 1930s' film dancing partner (7)

I believe the answer is:

astaire

(Other definitions for astaire that I've seen before include "Fred, Hollywood dancing icon" , "Fred --, dancer/actor" , "Fred - - (films)" , "US dancer (Top Hat)" , "A satire about Fred, great Hollywood dancer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
