Swimmer having a bit of fun in ballet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'swimmer having a bit of fun' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dance that I've seen before include "Eg, waltz, foxtrot" , "Ball; hop" , "Quickstep, e.g." , "Eg, perform ballet" , "social event" .)
