Perhaps the creative force behind Tango and Sprite changed job (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terpsichore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'perhaps the creative force behind tango' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'sprite changed job' is the wordplay.
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'job' becomes 'chore' (synonyms).
'sprite' is an anagram of 'terpsi'.
'terpsi'+'chore'='TERPSICHORE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for terpsichore that I've seen before include "I inspire dancers" , "this muse being the inspiration?" , "Inspiring female" , "The Muse of dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
