Crossword Genius

Surprising, except nude dancing (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unexpected

'surprising' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'except nude dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'except'+'nude'='exceptnude'
'exceptnude' is an anagram of 'UNEXPECTED'.

(Other definitions for unexpected that I've seen before include "Not foreseen" , "Unforeseen" , "Surprising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
