Rise with bishop interrupting dance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebel

'rise' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'bishop interrupting dance' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'dance' becomes 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance).
'b' put into 'reel' is 'REBEL'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rebel that I've seen before include "Eg, Cade or Hereward" , "Rise in armed opposition" , "Mutineer or dissenter" , "Resistance fighter" , "Freedom fighter?" .)
