Performer carted pan off (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tap dancer

'performer' is the definition.
(tap dancer is a kind of performer)

'carted pan off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'carted'+'pan'='cartedpan'
'cartedpan' is an anagram of 'TAP-DANCER'.

(Other definitions for tap dancer that I've seen before include "Astaire, say" , "Astaire or Kelly, for example" , "Performer good on wooden stage" , "Astaire was one" , "Entertainer needing floorboards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
