Crossword Genius

I waltz around with a bag (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

valise

'a bag' is the definition.
(valise is a kind of bag)

'i waltz around' is the wordplay.
'waltz' becomes 'valse' ('valse' can be a synonym of 'waltz').
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'i' put within 'valse' is 'VALISE'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for valise that I've seen before include "Elvis A? (anag)" , "Small travelling bag or suitcase" , "Overnight case" , "Small overnight bag" , "Small piece of luggage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
