Softly creep into dances for view (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perception

'view' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'softly creep into dances' is the wordplay.
'softly' becomes 'p'.
'dances' indicates anagramming the letters.
'creep'+'into'='creepinto'
'creepinto' anagrammed gives 'erception'.
'p'+'erception'='PERCEPTION'

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for perception that I've seen is " View".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
