Crossword Genius

Get up for wild dances (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascend

'get up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wild dances' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'dances' with letters rearranged gives 'ASCEND'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for ascend that I've seen before include "Make the top" , "Soar" , "shift to a higher plane" , "Gain altitude" , "Climb, rise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
