Teach girl to dance like a zombie (9)

I believe the answer is:

lethargic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like a zombie' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'teach girl to dance' is the wordplay.
'to dance' indicates anagramming the letters (letters must dance around).
'teach'+'girl'='teachgirl'
'teachgirl' anagrammed gives 'LETHARGIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lethargic that I've seen before include "lack of energy" , "Unenergetic" , "reluctant to move" , "Short of energy" , "Apathetic, lacking energy" .)
