Amenable lot confused routine enthusiast (11)

I believe the answer is:

balletomane

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

'routine enthusiast' is the definition.
'balletomane' can be an answer for 'enthusiast' (balletomane is a kind of enthusiast). I'm not sure about the 'routine' bit.

'amenable lot confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'amenable'+'lot'='amenablelot'
'amenablelot' with letters rearranged gives 'BALLETOMANE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for balletomane that I've seen is " being wild about Giselle?".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
