Quickly run through dance at a distance (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reel off

'quickly run through' is the definition.
(as in reeling off a list)

'dance at a distance' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance).
'at a distance' becomes 'off' (synonyms).
'reel'+'off'='REEL OFF'

(Other definitions for reel off that I've seen before include "Utter (something) rapidly and fluently" , "Quickly pronounce" , "Say (something) rapidly and effortlessly" , "Announce with speed and fluency" , "say, without apparent effort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
