Priest set out mission with article about dancing (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terpsichorean

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

'about dancing' is the definition.

'priest set out mission with article' is the wordplay.
'set out' indicates an anagram.
'mission with' becomes 'chore' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'priest' anagrammed gives 'terpsi'.
'terpsi'+'chore'+'an'='TERPSICHOREAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for terpsichorean that I've seen before include "Relating to dancing" , "of dance numbers" , "become a dancer" , "Related to dancing - chain store rep (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
