Crossword Genius

Dance with beat and vitality (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

'dance' is the definition.
(tangoing is a kind of dancing)

'beat and vitality' is the wordplay.
'beat' becomes 'tan' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'vitality' 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 "musical piece" , "Latin-American dance - code for T" , "Dance of South American origin" , "Dramatic dance form Argentina" , "Latin American dance (requiring two?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
