Dance beat given energy (5)
I believe the answer is:
tango
'dance' is the definition.
(tangoing is a kind of dancing)
'beat given energy' is the wordplay.
'beat' becomes 'tan' (I've seen this before).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'energy' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tan'+'go'='TANGO'
(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "musical piece" , "Latin American dance (requiring two?)" , "South American dance (for two?)" , "Last - in Paris (film)" , "Movement from Argentina" .)
