One from Peru, perhaps Lima, in a trance, dancing (5,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latin american

'one from peru' is the definition.
(I know this)

'lima in a trance dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lima'+'in'+'a'+'trance'='limainatrance'
'limainatrance' anagrammed gives 'LATIN-AMERICAN'.

'perhaps' is the link.

(Other definitions for latin american that I've seen before include "Spanish-speaking in the US?" , "Coming from south of US" , "from Brazil perhaps" , "Mexican, for example" , "possibly from Argentina" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
