Song and dance promotion? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ballad

'song' is the definition.
(I know that ballad is a type of song)

'dance promotion?' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'promotion?' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'ball'+'ad'='BALLAD'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ballad that I've seen before include "Narrative song with a recurrent refrain" , "A simple or old song" , "Poem telling a story" , "Song type" , "Narrative poem or song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
