Nimble dance ends on foot (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deft

'nimble' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'dance ends on foot' is the wordplay.
'ends' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'foot' becomes 'ft' ('ft' can be a synonym of 'foot').
'dance' with its centre removed is 'de'.
'de'+'ft'='DEFT'

(Other definitions for deft that I've seen before include "Skilful, handling things easily" , "Adroit, nimble" , "Quick and skillful" , "Handy" , "Quick and skilfull" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
