Non-conformist bishop in dance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebel

'non-conformist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bishop in dance' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'dance' becomes 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance).
'b' going into 'reel' is 'REBEL'.

(Other definitions for rebel that I've seen before include "Disobey" , "Unconventional type" , "One rising in opposition" , "He resists authority" , "Do things differently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
