Dean wrestling with cold tap? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dance

'tap?' is the definition.
(I know that tap is a kind of dance)

'dean wrestling with cold' is the wordplay.
'wrestling with' indicates an anagram.
'cold' becomes 'C' (abbreviation, eg on taps).
'dean' anagrammed with 'c' makes 'DANCE'.

(Other definitions for dance that I've seen before include "Eg, tango, waltz" , "See 4" , "Move in time to music" , "Jig, say" , "social function" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
