Label I ran represented a dancer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ballerina

'a dancer' is the definition.
(ballerina is a kind of dancer)

'label i ran represented' is the wordplay.
'represented' is an anagram indicator.
'label'+'i'+'ran'='labeliran'
'labeliran' is an anagram of 'BALLERINA'.

(Other definitions for ballerina that I've seen before include "She dances to a rain bell" , "agile performer" , "She's a classical dancer" , "Female dancer, could be prima" , "Female classical dancer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
