Is on a roll in pole dance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polonaise

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

'is on a roll in pole' is the wordplay.
'roll' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'is'+'on'+'a'='isona'
'isona' anagrammed gives 'onais'.
'onais' going within 'pole' is 'POLONAISE'.

(Another definition for polonaise that I've seen is " Slow dance".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
