Dance music with beat and energy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

'dance music' is the definition.
(I know that tango is a type of dance music)

'beat and energy' is the wordplay.
'beat' becomes 'tan' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'energy' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tan'+'go'='TANGO'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "Colourful dance from Argentina" , "Steps" , "South American dance (for two?)" , "Argentine dance" , "one followed by uniform" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
