Crossword Genius

A dance enthusiast, man with energy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fandango

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

'a dance' is the definition.
(fandango is a kind of dance)

'enthusiast man with energy' is the wordplay.
'enthusiast' becomes 'fan' (fan is a kind of enthusiast).
'man with' becomes 'dan' (I am not sure about the 'with' bit.**).
'energy' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'fan'+'dan'+'go'='FANDANGO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fandango that I've seen before include "Spanish Steps" , "Spanish dance -- a dong fan (anag)" , "Dance performed with castanets" , "Lively Spanish dance" , "Spanish 2 Down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
