Bare all in dancing? Darcey? (9)

I believe the answer is:

ballerina

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

'darcey?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bare all in dancing?' is the wordplay.
'dancing?' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bare'+'all'+'in'='bareallin'
'bareallin' with letters rearranged gives 'BALLERINA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ballerina that I've seen before include "Pavlova?" , "lass good at splits?" , "girl on point duty" , "Female classical dancer" , "Female dancer, could be prima" .)
