Beat with pizzazz for dance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

'for dance' is the definition.
(tango is a kind of dance)

'beat with pizzazz' is the wordplay.
'beat' becomes 'tan' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'pizzazz' becomes 'go' (both can mean energy or vitality).
'tan'+'go'='TANGO'

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "Dance of South American origin" , "T in radio alphabet" , "something seen in ballroom?" , "Colourful dance from Argentina" , "one followed by uniform" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
