Make stretchy laces tie at dances (10)

I believe the answer is:

elasticate

'make stretchy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'laces tie at dances' is the wordplay.
'dances' indicates an anagram.
'laces'+'tie'+'at'='lacestieat'
'lacestieat' with letters rearranged gives 'ELASTICATE'.

(Another definition for elasticate that I've seen is " Make stretchy".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
