Where is the definition?

Is this really a fair clue? I'll dance in play without hesitation (10) CINDERELLA. Anagram (PLAY) of I'LL + DANCE around ER (hesitation). Where is the definition word? Play can't serve two roles here (trigger and def.), can it?

This is an example of an "&lit." clue (meaning "and literally"). &lit is a term applied to clues where both the definition and the cryptic parts are the whole clue itself, and not separate parts of the clue. &lit. clues are usually signaled by a "!" or "?" at the end, so if this clue is missing a ! or ? you might have grounds for a complaint!

Yes, it is missing the "!" which is why I felt it didn't work! Thanks.
