Starts to jump in very energetic dance (4)

I believe the answer is:

jive

'dance' is the definition.
(I know that jive is a kind of dance)

'starts to jump in very energetic' is the wordplay.
'starts to' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'jump in very energetic' is 'JIVE'.

(Other definitions for jive that I've seen before include "Style of fast dance music" , "Fast dancing style" , "Nineteen fifties dance style" , "Swing music; dance" , "Deceptive talk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
