Crossword Genius

Dance move following beat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tango

'dance' is the definition.
(tango is a type of dance)

'move following beat' is the wordplay.
'move' becomes 'go' (to go is to move).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'beat' becomes 'tan' (tan can mean to beat or hit).
'go' put after 'tan' is 'TANGO'.

(Other definitions for tango that I've seen before include "Dance of South American origin" , "Latin-American dance - code for T" , "Steps" , "Argentine dance" , "Tonga (anag.)" .)
