Dance beat with vitality (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

'dance' is the definition.
(tango is a type of dance)

'beat with vitality' is the wordplay.
'beat' becomes 'tan' (tan can mean to beat or hit).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'vitality' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tan'+'go'='TANGO'

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "something seen in ballroom?" , "Modern ballroom dance" , "musical piece" , "Steps" , "Latin American dance takes two to do it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
