Shun bad dancing partner (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

husband

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

'shun bad dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'shun'+'bad'='shunbad'
'shunbad' anagrammed gives 'HUSBAND'.

(Other definitions for husband that I've seen before include "Partner; use carefully" , "Conserve" , "Wife's partner" , "manage thriftily" , "Make careful use of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
