Dear friends,
Every word has different meaning depending on what branch
of science or arts we are discussing.

So (IMO) when we are dealing with dancing tango, we should apply the meaning
of a word in reference to tango and not to physics. (I am sorry to have to
say something so obvious).

I preferred in this case French and Castilian dictionaries on line .

The word Energy according to the French dictionary on line has different
meanings depending on the following subjects:

see https://w3.granddictionnaire.com/btml/fra/r_motclef/index1024_1.asp

Biology, Chemistry, Commerce, Automobile Industry, Mathematics, Medicine,
Metallurgic, Physics, Psychology, Technology, Zoology.

The dictionary of the Castilian Language on line says: see

https://www.educar.org/diccionario/e/e-er.asp

Energma. f. Fuerza, eficacia para obrar. Vigor y tessn en la actividad. En
Fmsica, lo que puede transformarse en trabajo mecanico. atsmica, se
almacenada en los nzcleos atsmicos y se libera por escisisn (fisisn), o por
smntesis (fusisn). de ionizacisn, la mmnima necesaria para ionizar una
molicula. nuclear, atsmica.

Strength, eficiency to do something, Vigor, tenacity, perseverance in an
activity. Physics: what can be transformed into mechanical work, Atomic:
that that is contained in the atomic nucleous and liberated by (fision) or
synthesis (fusion). Of ionization: the minimum necessary to ionize the
molecule. Nuclear, atomic.

Finally, the meaning I gave in my prior note: Vigor in activity, is the one
usually utilized by professional tango dancers with whom I have been in
contact in Argentina.

Best regards, Sergio

PS. Please feel free to utilize the meaning you prefer.
